So far, I did not try grinding Mint with Dhalia (Pottukadalai). My chutney jar crashed and I had no choice but to use the bigger jars. This went well with Idlies today for morning breakfast. Ingredients: 1. Mint leaves- 2 handful 2. Green chillies- 2 3. Dhalia- 1 handful. In a pan, add 1-2 tbsp of oil and add the washed mint leaves. Toss it for a minute and let this cool. Add green chillies, mint leaves and dhalia and grind adding salt. Saute with mustard seeds and curry leaves.
