Equipment

  • Mixie or Grinder

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Coriander leaves cilantro or dhaniya
  • 1 cup Mint leaves pudina
  • 2 to 3 Green chilies
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • ½ inch Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Roasted cumin powder or 1 teaspoon roasted cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Chaat masala (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon Salt or Black salt adjust to taste

Instructions

  • Pluck the mint leaves and see that you do not add any stalks, as it will make your chutney bitter.
    1 cup Mint leaves
  • Cut the roots of the coriander dhaniya. You can keep the stalks.
    2 cups Coriander leaves
  • Nicely wash the mint leaves, and coriander leaves in water and drain.
  • Add coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, ginger, garlic, cumin powder, lemon juice, chaat masala, and salt with 1 or 2 tablespoon of water and grind it to a smooth paste. Taste the chutney at this point and adjust the ingredients to your liking.
    2 to 3 Green chilies, 2 Garlic cloves, ½ inch Ginger, 1 teaspoon Roasted cumin powder, 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, ½ teaspoon Chaat masala, ½ teaspoon Salt or Black salt
  • Store it in an airtight conatiner and keep it in the refrigerator. This chutney tastes the best when used in 2 to 3 days. For longer use, store in the freezer. Thaw and serve.

Notes

  • Vary the ingredients to adjust to your liking.
  • For more flavor, you can add a few peppercorns and ½ teaspoon saunf (fennel seeds).
  • Cumin powder can be substituted with roasted cumin seeds. 
  • Grind the chutney with ice cubes or ice-cold water, and add lemon juice to keep the chutney green for a long time. 
  • This green chutney is a very flexible recipe. Just add ½ cup of coconut while grinding, and you can serve this chutney with dosa. Adding ½ cup of yogurt will make it taste and look like the green chutney or mint sauce served in restaurants along with kebab or tandoori recipes.
