To begin making the Pudina Tambuli recipe, clean and  wash mint leaves .

In a pan add few drops of ghee and roast jeera, pepper and green chilli. Fry for a minute.

Add the pudina leaves and sauté for 2-3 minutes or till the leaves turn soft and change their colour.

Remove from the flame and keep aside to cool. Grind leaves, spice mix, coconut and salt to a very smooth paste in a mixer by adding little water.

Pour the mixture to a bowl and add buttermilk/curd. Mix well.Adjust the consistency as required. The consistency should be thin .

Heat the remaining ghee in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and jeera ,when it splutters add curry leaves. Pour the tempering on the thambli.
