Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh coriander leaves
- 0.5 cup mint leaves
- 2 medium green chilies
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh coriander leaves and mint leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off the excess water or gently pat dry with paper towels.
Roughly chop the coriander and mint leaves and set them aside.
Peel the ginger and garlic cloves. Chop the ginger into small pieces to assist in blending.
Cut the green chilies into halves. Remove seeds if a milder chutney is preferred.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, ginger pieces, and garlic.
Add lemon juice, cumin seeds, and unsalted roasted peanuts to the blender.
Blend the mixture on a medium-high speed while adding 2 tablespoons of water gradually until the chutney reaches a smooth, thick consistency. You may add more water if a thinner consistency is desired.
Taste the chutney and adjust the flavors if needed by adding more lemon juice for tanginess or more chilies for heat.
Transfer the chutney to a bowl and serve immediately as a dip with snacks or as a condiment with meals.
Store any leftover chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
