Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh coriander leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1-2 green chilies
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the fresh coriander and mint leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry completely using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Remove the stems from the green chilies and roughly chop them. If you prefer a milder chutney, remove the seeds from the chilies before chopping.
- Place the washed coriander leaves, mint leaves, chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, lemon juice, and salt into a food processor or blender.
- Pulse or blend the ingredients until they form a smooth, vibrant green paste. If the mixture seems too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to help blend smoothly.
- Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice if needed to balance the flavors.
- Transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight container. The chutney can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
- Before serving, give the chutney a quick stir and serve as a dip, spread, or condiment with various Indian snacks, sandwiches, or main dishes.
Tips
- Use fresh herbs: Always choose bright green, crisp coriander and mint leaves for the most vibrant flavor and color.
- Adjust spice level: Control the heat by removing chili seeds or varying the number of green chilies used.
- Consistency matters: Add water gradually while blending to achieve your desired thickness - perfect for dipping or spreading.
- Storage hack: For longer preservation, you can freeze the chutney in small portions for up to a month.
- Serving suggestion: Try it as a marinade, sandwich spread, or dip for samosas and pakoras to truly experience its versatility.
- Texture tip: For a smoother chutney, blend longer; for a more rustic feel, pulse the ingredients briefly.
