Pudhina Thogayal is a typical South Indian style healthy green dip for your finger foods. Serves as a great appetizer. It is a superb combo with hot rice with ghee, curd rice, idly, and dosa.


My mother’s secret mint pickle to enjoy with other South Indian Recipes. You will become a die-hard fan of this recipe. The food becomes extra delicious dipping into it.

We Indian loves spicy food because that just creates an aroma in the food. Every day we need some new dips (Chutneys) so here is it is. A very unique and tasty pickle to try for.

Pudhina Thogayal’s final outcome looks like a deep dark green chunky paste and relishes mild spicy with a sour taste. You can prepare this with fresh coconut also.

But make sure you don’t preserve this for more than 2 days. But if you want it for more days than avoid adding coconut.

I prepared it without coconut and thus you can refrigerate this ultimate outcome in a tight container and it will be good for 15-20 days.

You can use any edible oil but when you prefer sesame oil, it gives additional flavor to it and helps to preserve for a long time.
