Green Sandwich Chutney

This chutney is my daily dose of iron intake. I had read somewhere that two tablespoons of green chutney daily will take care of one's daily iron requirements. So I make this chutney regularly, refrigerate and ensure that i have the recommended dosage :-)

Although I have titled it as sandwich chutney, this goes along well with anything - idlis, dosas, chapati's, bread etc.

I usually make this chutney a little less spicy so that i can have a larger portion. However you can add a couple of more chillies if you intend to use it as a 'sandwich spread' as you would also spread butter (which reduces the spiciness).

Ingredients:

Coriander leaves - 1 bunch

Mint leaves - 1 cup

Groundnuts (Unroasted) - A handful

Garlic pods - 3 to 4

Green chillies - 2

Lemon - 1 (medium sized)

Sugar - 1 tsp

Salt to taste

Clean and wash coriander and mint leaves. In a mixer / blender add groundnuts, garlic pods, chillies, juice from the lemon, sugar and salt. Grind coarsely. Add the washed leaves and blend till the chutney is smooth.
