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 tsp Roasted cumin powder, 1 tbsp Lemon juice, ½ tsp Chaat masala, ½ tsp 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.
