Fresh Mint and Cilantro Chutney

Recipes Drinks
Mint chutney (Pudina Chutney) is the essential refresher of Indian meals. It's like a cool breeze next to hot, spicy dishes. The cooling effect of mint and the creaminess of yogurt perfectly neutralize the heat of chilies. Not just a dip, it's also considered a digestive aid in Ayurvedic tradition. Genius in sandwiches too!

Instructions

1 ✓

Pick the mint leaves (stems can be bitter). You can use cilantro stems; they hold flavor. Wash and dry well.

Tip: Moisture dilutes the chutney, so drying is important.
2 ✓

Place herbs, garlic, ginger, and chili in blender. Add lemon juice, salt, and sugar.

Tip: Lemon juice acidity protects chlorophyll from oxidation, keeping it bright green.
3 ✓

Blend until smooth. If stuck, add a tablespoon of water or yogurt. You want a thick green paste.

Tip: Don't over-blend, or the heat from the blades can brown the mint.
4 ✓

Finally, stir in the yogurt (by hand or pulse briefly) for creaminess.

Tip: Over-blending yogurt breaks its protein structure, making it runny.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it turn brown?
Mint oxidizes like apples. Adding lemon juice and keeping it refrigerated helps maintain the green color.
It's too runny.
Use thick Greek yogurt or strain your yogurt before using.
