Green Sandwich chutney
The quintessential green chutney, most of us Indians grew up with during our childhood 😁 This chutney was a must in most Indian households, during birthday parties and picnics back then.
Try it today. We loved it as kids.

Ingredients:
100 grams mint leaves
80 grams corriander leaves

Corriander leaves must be a little less than mint leaves in quantity.

Jaggery 1 tsp or to taste. Alternatively use any other sweetner.
Salt to taste
1 tbsp coconut shavings
1/2tsp cumin powder
2 to 3 cloves garlic
1/4 th piece of small ginger or to taste.
1/2 to 1 green chilli as per the spice level you like.
1/2 of lime juice.

Grind it into a smooth paste.

To make sandwich. Toast bread. Slather butter on both sides. Then chutney on both sides. Can add cucumber and tomato to it or just have it plain with chutney or chutney cheese sandwich. Any combination tastes yumm. The chutney and butter remains constant here.

Stay safe and Happy International women's day
