This is my go to chutney when making any chaat related food! It is such a nice compliment to samosas, papad, or even pizza! There is always a fresh batch in my fridge, and my aunt has started requesting a batch for her house too! If you’re low on time you can definitely make this in advance or whip this up in a huge batch and freeze it. If you omit the chili it is extremely kid-friendly! I would take chutney and butter/cream cheese sandwiches to school all the time and it is still on of my favorite snacks, especially with Jalapeño chips smashed in the middle!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of mint leaves
- 1 bunch of cilantro including stems
- 2-3 jalapeños or serranos depending on preference
- 2-3 tablespoons of oil, may need additional to get the blender going
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 inch ginger
- juice of 1 lemon
- salt and sugar to taste
Method:
- Pulse everything in the blender and stream in enough oil to get the blender going. I like it to be smooth but to still see fleck of green, adjust the texture based on preference.
