Ingredients
Fresh Herbs
- 1 cup Coriander Leaves
- 1 cup Mint Leaves
Spices and Flavorings
- 6 Chiles green, small
- 1 tsp Split Chickpea split chickpeas, roasted
- 2 clove Garlic roughly chopped
- 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
- In a mixer grinder (or food processor), combine the coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chiles, roasted chana dal, garlic, yogurt, and salt.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water and blend until smooth. Adding water in stages helps create a smoother chutney.
- If the chutney is too thick, add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the vibrant mint-coriander chutney immediately with sandwiches, parathas, or Indian chaats. It also makes a delicious addition to breakfast dishes.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Add 1 tsp of sugar if required.
- Adding curd helps maintain the chutney's vibrant green color for a longer time.
- Peanuts (groundnuts) can be used as a substitute for dalwa.
- For a creamier texture and milder flavor, replace yogurt with a few tablespoons of coconut milk or silken tofu (this also makes the chutney vegan-friendly).
- If the chutney is too pungent, blanch the mint and coriander leaves briefly in hot water, then plunge into ice water before blending to mellow the sharpness while preserving the color.
Expert Tips
- For a smoother chutney, remove the thick stems from the herbs before blending.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Toasting the dalwa or peanuts before grinding enhances their flavor and adds a nutty depth to the chutney.
Storage Instructions
- Store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For prolonged freshness, add a thin layer of oil on top to prevent oxidation and maintain the bright green color. It should last for up to a week.
