Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, tightly packed Fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves
- 0.5 cup, tightly packed Fresh mint leaves
- 2 medium Green chilies
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 1 inch, peeled Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Roasted cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 2 tablespoons (adjust as needed) Water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh coriander (cilantro) and mint leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove dirt and grit.
Gently pat the leaves dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. You can also use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Chop the coriander, mint leaves, ginger, and green chilies into smaller pieces for easier blending.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, garlic cloves, ginger, lemon juice, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, and salt.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of water to help with blending. Adjust the amount of water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Blend the mixture until smooth. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or chilies to your preference.
Once smooth and well-combined, transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight container.
Serve immediately as a dip for samosas, pakoras, or chips, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. The chutney pairs excellently with grilled meats or Indian curries.
Store leftover chutney in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving.
