What role do side dishes play to help have a perfect meal???
Just imagine and compare our food with the movies…just for fun but it sounds logical sometimes…. like how we categorized movies as south Indian, north Indian, international movies, etc. In our food also we have categories of south Indian food, north Indian food, international food etc.
Comparing like this we get to know and realize that we always give more importance to our lead actors or actress in movies …as in our meal like main course or main food. But here we forget to give credit to side actors like in our food side dishes as both plays an important role in movies or food….as our side dish also contribute to make our meal a perfect meal.
So here we want to give credit to side dishes by explaining how important it is in all types of cuisines in our meal.

A Side Dish which is an all-rounder Chutney!!! Chutney which can be a good combination for both Breakfast and Snack Recipes and it is also Pudina Chutney. It is one of the most popular and familiar Chutney Recipe of India.
It is prepared with mainly mint leaves which are a good source for digestion. This recipe’s taste is generally hot and spicy, which can be famously used with breakfast like Dhokla, Idli, Dosa Puri, and Snacks like Vada, Masala Vada, Samosa. It can also be used as a spread on Sandwich and Kati Rolls.

These side dishes are not only to be had with breakfast, these are also used with main foods such as Lunch/Dinner whether it maybe vegetarian recipes or non-vegetarian recipes. Especially with non-veg food because our Indian non-veg food are bit spicy so to cool down the spiciness, we have many raita recipes.
