Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 medium green chili
- 1 inch piece ginger root
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Rinse the cilantro and mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
If desired, remove the seeds from the green chili to reduce heat. Roughly chop the chili, ginger, and garlic.
In a blender, combine the cilantro leaves, mint leaves, chopped green chili, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, cumin seeds, and unsalted roasted peanuts.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the blender to help the ingredients blend smoothly.
Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth paste. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula.
Taste the chutney, and if desired, add more lemon juice for extra tanginess. Adjust the texture by adding a bit more water if it’s too thick.
Once blended to your liking, transfer the chutney to a serving bowl.
This low sodium green chutney can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
