  1. This is the Telugu (don’t want to specify Andhra or telangana) style pudina Pachadi/ chutney recipe I’ve been looking for. I always notice North Indian style Pudina/ Hara Chutney or other versions for idli/ dosa.
    The only variation mom did was added 1/4 cup roasted peanuts and 2 Tbsp roasted Til to the above and depending on taste added 1/8 chopped white onion to give it some crunch. Enjoy with hot rice!
