Ingredients
- 50 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 50 grams Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 small Green chili
- 120 grams Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly rinse the fresh mint and coriander leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt. Shake off the excess water or pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Remove any thick stems from the mint and coriander leaves as they can be bitter, leaving only the tender leaves and fine stems.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine the mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chili, garlic clove, and ginger.
Step 4
Add the plain yogurt, lemon juice, cumin powder, salt, and black salt to the blender.
Step 5
Pour in the water to help blend the mixture smoothly.
Step 6
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes a smooth, homogenous sauce. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender, ensuring all ingredients are incorporated.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Step 8
Once blended smoothly, transfer the mint sauce to a serving bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve cold alongside your favorite Indian dishes, such as samosas, kebabs, or as a condiment with rice and curry.
