Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh coriander leaves
• 0.5 cup Mint leaves
• 2 Garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 inch Ginger root, peeled
• 1 Green chili, adjust to taste
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon Roasted cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened yogurt (optional for creaminess)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the fresh coriander leaves and mint leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off excess water and roughly chop them.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and ginger, and chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, garlic cloves, ginger, and green chili.

Step 4

Add the lemon juice, roasted cumin seeds, and salt to the blender.

Step 5

Pour in the water to help with the blending process. Blend the ingredients into a smooth, uniform paste. You may pause intermittently to scrape down the sides of the blender jar for even blending.

Step 6

If opting for a creamier texture, add unsweetened yogurt to the blender and blend for a few more seconds until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning if necessary, particularly the salt and lemon juice.

Step 8

Transfer the coriander chutney into a serving bowl and use immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
