Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup plain yogurt
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 1 unit green chili
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Start by rinsing the mint leaves and cilantro leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off excess water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice the green chili in half, removing seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.
In a blender, combine the mint leaves, cilantro leaves, plain yogurt, garlic cloves, green chili, lemon juice, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and water.
Blend the mixture on medium speed until it forms a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the mint sauce to a serving bowl. If desired, refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Soy-Free Indian Mint Sauce as a condiment with your favorite Indian dishes, such as samosas, kebabs, or curries.
