PUDINA AND PUMPKIN AND SUNFLOWER SEEDS CHUTNEY

Zingy, refreshing and delightful, a dash of mint can set  almost anything right. From boosting digestion to keeping your breath fresh for long, from maintaining your blood sugar levels to its very powerful antioxidant properties and so much more...mint is packed with a number of benefits and this green wonder should be your go-to herb this summer.

So let's try and make a tangy and mouth watering chutney with this super herb  

Can we just try and give this beautifully green chutney a creamy and silky texture, and multiply its nutritional value multiple times at the same time?! Yes we can! How?? By adding these small wonders..the pumpkin and the sunflower seeds..which most definitely qualify as superfood They also add in a very unique flavour, so different from the usual pudina chutney.

These seeds pack a powerful health punch..They are a great source of fibre, control blood sugar level, your blood pressure, your cholesterol.. They contain high levels of essential fatty acids, the full profile of amino acids needed to form complete and digestible protein, plus vitamins A, B, C and E and the minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, selenium and manganese. I guess now I don't need to add anything more as to why these Li'l energy packs have to be a part of your daily diet☺

So let's begin with one of my most favourite chutneys which is so, so easy to make and which you will find at my home almost for whole of the year.. It always comes handy

Ingredients:

2 big cups fresh Pudina(mint) leaves

1 cup fresh coriander leaves

2 fistful of the seeds mixture

3-4 green chillies

2-3 garlic cloves

2 tbsp Lemon juice 

Rock salt/black salt

Adding a little bit of Amchoor powder(Dry Mango Powder) adds beautifully to the tang

Little water if required

Procedure:

Blend all of the ingredients into a fine, smooth and creamy chutney

Note: You can adjust the green chillies, salt, the lemon juice as per your taste. Add a little water if required to bring it to the consistency you like and your chutney is ready

You can have it with anything and everything That's how much I love it

I usually add a mixture of pumpkin, sunflower, water melon and musk melon seeds since these are what I snack on and I always have them with me.. You can add whatever of these seeds available with you. But I strongly recommend that they become a part of your daily diet too.. They are yummy, filling and healthy, all at the same time. Best to snack on in between your meals🌝
