Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup chopped cilantro ((coriander leaves))
1 cup chopped mint leaves
1 teaspoon chopped green chillies (or serrano pepper or 1 to 2 green chillies.)
½ inch ginger (- peeled and roughly chopped)
1 teaspoon cumin powder (- optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (- optional)
salt (or black salt or edible rock salt, as required)
3 to 4 tablespoons water (or as required for blending)

Steps:

  • Pluck the leaves and tender stems from the coriander bunch.
  • Also pluck mint leaves from their stems. Make sure to use only mint leaves and not stems as the chutney can get bitter if stems are used.
  • Rinse both the coriander leaves and mint leaves very well in a colander or strainer with water. Drain all the water.
  • Roughly chop them. Keep the other ingredients required for the chutney also aside.
  • In a mixer-grinder or blender, take all of the chutney ingredients. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons water and blend or grind to a smooth and fine consistency. Make sure there are no chunks of any ingredient in the chutney.
  • Transfer the chutney to a small bowl or jar. Use as needed. If storing keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
  • You can serve this chutney as a dipping sauce with various varieties of pakora, samosa, kachori, vada varieties etc.
  • You can also use to make spicy sandwiches. Simply make a thick chutney by adding less water and use as a spread on the sandwiches.
  • Use the chutney to make various Indian chaat snacks like bhel puri, sev puri, ragda pattice, chana chaat etc.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches cilantro (corriander leaves)
1 bunch of fresh mint, small
3 green chilies, small variety
1/4 teaspoon tamarind paste
1 pinch asafoetida powder (or paste)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oil

Steps:

  • Prepare the herbs by picking the leaves off the stem, washing and coarsley chopping.
  • Dissolve the tamarind paste in a tablespoon of water.
  • 'Zaar only allows me to list Asafoetida powder as an ingredient, but I prefer paste. Dissolve the asafoetida paste in a tablespoon of water. If you're using powdered asafoetida, skip this step.
  • Put all the ingredients into a blender/food processor and grind into a fine puree. Use small amounts of water if needed to make the paste, but use sparingly.
  • I've deliberately listed only a small amount of salt because the correct amount is totally to taste.
  • Taste the puree and season to taste.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet on meadium heat.
  • Add the oil, and when the oil is warm add the herb puree.
  • Stir around until the water evaporates and the mixtures darkens in color.
  • Cool and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator.
  • This chutney can be served with samosas, pakora, fritters or other savory snacks.
  • It can also be used as a spread on bread for sandwiches (try topping with sliced cucumbers for a yummy sandwich).
  • You can also add a small amount of jaggery or brown sugar dissolved in water while grinding if you wish.
