Pudhina/Malli Thokku (Mint/Coriander Chutney)

By now, you might be knowing that I'm doing everything to finish up my fresh herbs lying in the refrigerator since two days....

Yes, I insisted to buy sufficient amount of Coriander and Mint leaves for doing the dinner of my daughter's Bday party (last week end), but did I ask him to buy 5 bunches of Mint leaves and 5 bunches of Coriander leaves??? that is the work of my beloved "Hum Hum", I suppose (as usual), he preferred to buy them, all at once, so that I don't ask him to run to the shop to buy the fresh herbs, at the last minute...... always too much or nothing :):) :)

So.... after the Nilgiri Kurma, it's a thokku with some more of the greens ......I don't like to see any fresh herbs in the refrigerator for more than 3 or more days; I have the impression of making them old and tired and that they're making faces to me because I'm letting them die without giving them the oppurtunity to be useful, fresh and healthy :) So making use of them to give them another new life in my dish..... :)

I prefer calling it a thokku as it has neither the texture of a chutney nor a pickle.....but you can call it as you like....a salsa/ a chutney/ a dip/ a thuvayal.......it goes well mixed with rice or as a side dish for chapatis and many main dishes. I like so much the mixture of the slight munchy and nutty texture of the roasted peanuts and the fresh herbs, that I realized that I've been swallowing already a couple of spoons of the thokku :), tasting and re-tasting, while wiping out everything from the bowl of my blender....Shhhhh..... I have to taste and correct the taste if necessary, shouldn't I ? :)
