Andhra style pudina pachadi - Mint leaves chutney

When there is nothing available,  a chutney and ghee is enough to finish our meal along with hot steaming rice.  The pudina pachadi is made by adding fresh mint leaves and coriander leaves along with some spices.

Every meal in South India consists of some varieties of chutneys and the Pudina pachadi is one among them.  The pudina pachidi is best eaten with hot steaming rice and ghee in all parts of South India.  

In Andhra pradesh, we eat a lot of chutneys by simply mixing them with hot steaming rice with some ghee or sesame oil.   I already wrote about a lot of Andhra chutneys or Pachadis which include few such as Pandu Mirapakaya PachadiKothimeera pachadiChinta chiguru pachadiNImmakaya Uragaya  and many more....  In this article let us see how to make Andhra Style Pudina Pachadi..
