Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 small green chili
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the mint and cilantro leaves under cold water to remove any dirt. Shake off the excess water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Peel the skin off the ginger and roughly chop it into smaller pieces. Slice the green chili and remove seeds if you prefer a milder flavor.
Add the mint leaves, cilantro leaves, ginger pieces, green chili slices, and garlic cloves into a blender or food processor.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and unsweetened coconut milk into the blender. Add the salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure even blending.
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the mint sauce into a bowl or jar. Serve immediately as a dipping sauce or refrigerate for later use. It's excellent paired with meats, vegetables, or as a salad dressing.
