• 2 units garlic cloves
• 1 unit green chili
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by rinsing the mint leaves and cilantro leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off excess water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and slice the green chili in half, removing seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.

In a blender, combine the mint leaves, cilantro leaves, plain yogurt, garlic cloves, green chili, lemon juice, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and water.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on medium speed until it forms a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.

Step 6

Transfer the mint sauce to a serving bowl. If desired, refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve the Soy-Free Indian Mint Sauce as a condiment with your favorite Indian dishes, such as samosas, kebabs, or curries.
