Pudina chutney, or mint chutney, is a common condiment for Indian dishes. Chutneys are made of strongly flavored fresh ingredients and are served alongside Indian meals. They are used in small portions to provide a bite of flavor to the curried and creamed dishes that make up Indian cuisine. Pudina chutney has a vibrant, pungent flavor and a smooth consistency with a fresh green hue. In your own kitchen, use pudina chutney with lamb or chicken dishes or as a flavorful sandwich spread.
