- 1 medium-sized green chilies
- 1 small garlic clove
- 0.5 inch piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon or to taste salt

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the coriander leaves and mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
Step 2
Roughly chop the fresh coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chili, ginger, and garlic for easier blending.
Step 3
Add the chopped coriander, mint, green chili, garlic, and ginger to a blender or food processor.
Step 4
Pour in the lemon juice and water. If using yogurt, add it now for a creamier consistency.
Step 5
Season with salt and sugar (if using) to balance the flavors.
Step 6
Blend the ingredients until smooth. If the chutney seems too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water and blend again.

Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or sugar as needed.
Step 8
Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
