Multi Green Chutney

MULTI GREEN CHUTNEY
(pudina, curry leaves and corriander leaves)

This dish could be relished by all. But the speciality of this chutney is that this for pregnnat women.As I am pregnant she taught me this dish. She told that this chutney will make them feel hungry and also help to digest the food fast. Thats true!! I was not able to bear the temptation to relish this dish and I had this atleast 4 - 5 in a day with all different possiblities.. with rice, bread as a green sandwich, idli and dosa.. and the worse part is I kept on feeling hungry every one hour.. O such a good idea for those ppl who really want to add on a bit of weight!!
