- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
Wash the fresh coriander and mint leaves thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt and impurities. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Remove the stem from the green chili and cut it in halves. You can deseed it if you prefer a milder chutney.
In a blender, add the coriander leaves, mint leaves, garlic cloves, green chili, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and cumin seeds.
Add the water to the blender to help the mixture blend smoothly.
Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and paste-like consistency. You may need to stop the blender occasionally to scrape down the sides.
Taste the chutney and adjust the salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Once blended to your desired consistency, transfer the chutney to a serving bowl or jar.
Serve immediately as a condiment with your favorite Mediterranean dishes or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
