Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 50 grams Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 small Green chili
- 120 grams Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the fresh mint and coriander leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt. Shake off the excess water or pat them dry with a clean towel.
Remove any thick stems from the mint and coriander leaves as they can be bitter, leaving only the tender leaves and fine stems.
In a blender or food processor, combine the mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chili, garlic clove, and ginger.
Add the plain yogurt, lemon juice, cumin powder, salt, and black salt to the blender.
Pour in the water to help blend the mixture smoothly.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes a smooth, homogenous sauce. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender, ensuring all ingredients are incorporated.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Once blended smoothly, transfer the mint sauce to a serving bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold alongside your favorite Indian dishes, such as samosas, kebabs, or as a condiment with rice and curry.
