Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh coriander leaves (cilantro), tightly packed
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves, tightly packed
  • 2–3 green chilies (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon asafoetida (hing) (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as needed
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons yogurt (for a creamier texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Herbs:
    • Rinse the coriander and mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Drain well.
  2. Blend:
    • In a blender or food processor, combine the coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, lemon juice, sugar (if using), and salt. Add yogurt if you want a creamier texture.
  3. Add Water:
    • Add a little water to help blend the ingredients smoothly. Start with a tablespoon or two and adjust as needed.
  4. Blend Until Smooth:
    • Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. Scrape down the sides if necessary.
  5. Taste and Adjust:
    • Taste the chutney and adjust salt or lemon juice as desired.
  6. Serve:
    • Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately with snacks, sandwiches, or curries. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • Adjust Spices: You can adjust the amount of green chilies to suit your taste preferences and even add optional asafoetida (hing) to make it more savory.
  • Single Herb Variation: This chutney works well with just coriander or just mint. Adjust the quantity to maintain the flavor balance.
  • Mix with Tamarind Chutney: Combine with tamarind chutney to extend the quantity for large gatherings. This blend adds a unique flavor and ensures everyone gets a share.
  • Serving Tip: Serve the chutney fresh for the best flavor and texture.
