Ingredients

  • 2 cups sorted fresh cilantro leaves fresh dhaniya
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves pudina
  • 1 tablespoon curd Dahi
  • 3 big green chillies adjust the heat
  • ½ piece amla fresh Indian gooseberry

  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • salt as per taste
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sort the dhania and Pudina leaves. While we may use cilantro stems, mint stems are very thick and hard and should be avoided.Rinse them in a bowl of water and transfer them to a colander.
  2. While the leaves drain water, roughly chop all the ingredients. Add chopped onions, garlic, raw mango, and green chilies to a food processor for blending.Add drained mint leaves and cilantro leaves along with cumin, salt, curd, and red chili powder. Blend to make a smooth paste. It takes 1 minute to blend it completely.
  3. Serve the cilantro-mint chutney with Indian appetizers or add it to your salad/buddha bowls for an amazing quick snack!

Notes

  • Make sure that you don't add any water. We have just now washed the leaves and they have sufficient water or else the dip would be runny.
  • You may store this dip in a dry airtight container (glass) with lid in the refrigerator for 2 days in summer and for 5 days in winters.
