Mint Almond Pesto

          I had brought this huge bunch of mint leaves, I made a chutney with some of it, added some while making a rice dish, but still was left with more leaves and then I remembered this pesto. I usually make the classic Basil Pesto and I have also tried the pesto with Sun Dried Tomatoes, this is the first time I tried this Mint Almond Pesto. I have used almonds in the place of pine nuts and have added some garlic and lemon zest for flavor. The pesto came out perfectly and had a nice mint flavor and we can have this mixed with pasta or spread it on a piece of bread. top it with some cheese and tomatoes, grill and enjoy..

Minty Dal

          Rotis with dal and some vegetable is our dinner on atleast 2 or more days in a week. But sometimes we get bored with the same dal, and want to have something different. I added some mint to the dal, it gave it a nice flavor and was a little different with a squeeze of lemon juice. Give it a try if you like mint..
