Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 small Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the mint and cilantro leaves thoroughly, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Peel the garlic clove and chop the green chili into small pieces. Peel and grate the fresh ginger.
In a blender or food processor, combine the mint leaves, cilantro leaves, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, grated ginger, chopped green chili, cumin powder, and salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times to ensure everything is well combined.
If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time and continue blending until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust salt or lemon juice if necessary.
Transfer the mint sauce to a serving bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the sauce chilled as a dip, dressing, or accompaniment to your favorite low-carb dishes.
