mint leaves chutney/pudhina chutney for idli and dosa

It is a simple type of mint leaves chutney as you may all know!! is easy to make,but explained in my own way that goes best with idly’s and dosas!!Of course,I don’t saute the leaves much as it is not necessary and more over to retain its green color.I use small onions in large amounts in my day today cooking!as I believe that there is always a difference in taste between large and small onions.But I agree that in some dishes only the big onions suits very well.Some amount of coriander leaves to this chutney gives the chutney a nice balance.My kids love the taste of this mint leaves chutney so, I do it regularly atleast once in a week.In this chutney sweetness make all the difference and there is no need for sauteing the coconut it can be added at last during grinding.
