⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Place mint, cilantro, chili, salt, sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor.

Tip: Lemon acidity stabilizes chlorophyll, keeping the sauce green.
2 ✓

Add a spoonful of yogurt and blend into a smooth paste.

Tip: Don't add all the yogurt at once; the blades won't catch the leaves in too much liquid.
3 ✓

Transfer the green paste to a bowl and whisk in the remaining yogurt by hand.

Tip: Blending all the yogurt can break its structure and make it runny.
4 ✓

Taste! It should balance sour, salty, sweet, and spicy notes.

Tip: Serve chilled.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the chutney turn brown?
Herbs oxidized due to air or heat from the blender. Lemon juice helps keep it vibrant green, but it's best made fresh.
