- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cilantro and mint thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit, then pat them dry with a clean towel. Discard any thick stems.

Chop the green chili, garlic cloves, and peeled ginger into smaller pieces for easier blending.
