Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh coriander leaves
- 0.5 cup Mint leaves
- 2 Garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 inch Ginger root, peeled
- 1 Green chili, adjust to taste
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Roasted cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened yogurt (optional for creaminess)
Instructions
Begin by washing the fresh coriander leaves and mint leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off excess water and roughly chop them.
Peel the garlic cloves and ginger, and chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, garlic cloves, ginger, and green chili.
Add the lemon juice, roasted cumin seeds, and salt to the blender.
Pour in the water to help with the blending process. Blend the ingredients into a smooth, uniform paste. You may pause intermittently to scrape down the sides of the blender jar for even blending.
If opting for a creamier texture, add unsweetened yogurt to the blender and blend for a few more seconds until fully incorporated.
Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning if necessary, particularly the salt and lemon juice.
Transfer the coriander chutney into a serving bowl and use immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
