"Sambharbali Paan" (Oregano leaves) chutney

I am told that this chutney is quite common and known to the local people of Mangalore, Udupi & coastal areas of Karnataka. However, I was not aware of this chutney until my sister-in-law gave this recipe to me (sometime back) when she saw the "Sambharbali" plant in my balcony garden and ever since I have been preparing this simple,delicious and healthy chutney.

Generally, when my stock of coriander leaves (in the fridge) get exhausted, I pluck a few sambharbali Paan (oregano leaves) from my (balcony) garden and prepare this chutney as all the other ingredients necessary are generally available at home at any given time. A variation: This chutney also tastes good when mixed with ½ a cup of curds (yoghurt) and can be served as raita.
This chutney goes well with idli, dosas, or chapattis or pakodas and can be used  as a sandwich spread too.
