Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 small green chili
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the mint and cilantro leaves under cold water to remove any dirt. Shake off the excess water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 2
Peel the skin off the ginger and roughly chop it into smaller pieces. Slice the green chili and remove seeds if you prefer a milder flavor.
Step 3
Add the mint leaves, cilantro leaves, ginger pieces, green chili slices, and garlic cloves into a blender or food processor.
Step 4
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and unsweetened coconut milk into the blender. Add the salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
Step 5
Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure even blending.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the mint sauce into a bowl or jar. Serve immediately as a dipping sauce or refrigerate for later use. It's excellent paired with meats, vegetables, or as a salad dressing.
