3 in 1 Green Chutney

3 in 1 green chutney - As the name this recipe has 3 main ingredients which makes it 3 in 1. This is also one of my crazy idea. When i was planning for dinner i decided to do dosa and was thinking about chutney. I wanted something different. When i opened the fridge i had little coriander leaves, and mint leaves. I usually save some for briyani. This time i decided to make chutney.



I washed both coriander and mint leaves that is when i remembered that i had a bunch of curry leaves. Here in US curry leaves are costly and i never eat it from dish. I just keep it aside. In recent days i started doing curry leaves powder or i grind it with coconut when i plan to make masala.

Same way i wanted to add curry leaves along with mint and coriander. Initially i was not very sure of the taste, coz curry leaves usually gives a different smell and taste. Adding a little will not make any difference but i decided to add whole curry leaf packet.

Result was amazing. I liked it very much. Even the the next day morning i used this chutney as a bread spread. That was sooooo good. Here is the recipe for you all.....
