Description
Chutneys, like this one, are a great way to add an extra something to your everyday meals very easily.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
- 1 cup of mint leaves, packed
- 2–3 of green chillies (I like a less spicy green chutney – adjust to your taste)
- 1/4 cup of chopped onions
- 2 cloves of garlic (the large kind, if smaller, use more)
- 1 pinch of roasted cumin / jeera (optional)
- 1 heaping tsp of chaat masala
- 1/4 tsp of sugar
- A squeeze of lemon or lime juice
Instructions
- Grind all ingredients together with enough water and salt to a smooth chutney. Adjust ingredients and taste as you grind because from what I have seen, personal preferences change a lot with this chutney.
- These proportions make a perfect chutney to me and I have nailed it down in my head and make no changes anymore. You can store this chutney in the refrigerator for up to a week but freshly made chutneys always taste better.
