Instructions
- Toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until they become fragrant and slightly browned.
- Add the toasted seeds to a blender pitcher along with the lemon juice (or lime juice), diced onion, garlic cloves, fresh ginger, green chillies, fresh cilantro leaves, mint, and unsweetened plant-based yogurt, sweetener, and salt.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for about 90 seconds until smooth. Depending on the strength of your blender, this may take up to a few minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer the cilantro chutney to a serving dish or an airtight container if not serving immediately. This chutney can be stored in the refrigerator and is best used within five days on everything from khaman dhokla, to ragda patties or simple fried potato wedges.

Notes
- 🌿 Pick Perfies Plants:
- 🌿
- Select fresh, vibrant bunches of cilantro and mint for your chutney. Avoid using wilted or discolored herbs to ensure the best flavor and texture. It's okay to use some cilantro stems if your blender is strong enough to purée them smoothly.
- 🔥 Tweak Your Heat:
- 🔥
- Not everyone loves a fiery kick. Start with a small number of chilies and increase to taste. This way, you can control the spice level and enjoy the chutney just the way you like it.
- 🍃 Preserve the Green:
- 🍃
- Keep this spicy condiment as lovely looking as possible by blending the ingredients quickly and not overprocessing. To prevent the herbs from heating and oxidizing, use ice cubes instead of water during blending.
- 📦 Smart Storage Solutions:
- 📦
- To maintain freshness, store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze the chutney in ice cube trays, which allows for easy, small-portion use later, especially when fresh herbs are out of season.
- 🌱 Night Stalker:
- 🌱
- Be cautious with mature cilantro stalks as they can impart a soapy or metallic taste some dislike. These flavors are often more pronounced in older, thicker stems. For a cleaner, fresher taste, use only the tender stalks and leaves. Either way, don't use the mint stems, as they will not blend nicely.
