Home Made Mint (Puthina) Mix

Herewith another recipe which will make your life easy during rush hour/emergency


Just to be on the safer side, I got lot of mint before lockdown, wanted to prepare something soon before it gets wasted, usually, I don't like wasting food items, so I thought of preparing ready to mix paste which can be used whenever you want.

Ingredients
Mint - 2 bunches
Green chili - 10 (adjust based on your spice level)
Ginger - 3 long pieces
Tamarind
Salt - as required
Gingelly Oil -- as  required

Temper
Mustard seeds
Urad dal
Red chilies

  1. Heat oil pan, allow the temper items to temper 
  2. Grind the items - green chili, ginger, mint, tamarind
  3. Add the grinded paste in a pan and saute well
  4. In case if you feel oil is not enough, you can add little oil at this stage
  5. Let it cook until the oil gets separated
  6. Switch off the  flame  and  allow the paste to turn cool and  then it's ready for storage  
  7. Store this in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator, can stay good for 3 to 4 weeks
YUMMY Paste is ready
You can mix it with rice, can also make bread sandwich , can spread mix in dosa too
