Mint and Coriander Chutney with Yogurt

Mint and Coriander Chutney with Yogurt

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
  • 1 cup fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves, packed
  • 1 small green chili (adjust to taste)
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)

 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Herbs:

  • Wash the mint and coriander leaves thoroughly. Remove any thick stems, keeping just the tender leaves and thinner stems.

2. Blend the Chutney:

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chili, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, cumin and garam masala powder, and salt.
  • Blend everything until you get a smooth paste. You can add a tablespoon of water if needed to help the blending process.

3. Add the Yogurt:

  • Transfer the blended chutney to a mixing bowl.
  • Add the plain yogurt to the chutney and mix well until smooth and well combined.

4. Taste and Adjust:

  • Taste the chutney and adjust the salt, lemon juice, or spice level if needed. If you prefer a thicker chutney, add more yogurt; for a thinner consistency, add a little water or more lemon juice.

5. Serve:

  • Serve the Mint and Coriander Chutney with your favourite snacks, such as samosas, pakoras, or as a refreshing dip for grilled meats and kebabs. It’s also perfect as a side with Indian bread like naan or paratha.

6. Storage:

  • Store any leftover chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
