Ingredients
- 1 cup loosely packed mint leaves
- 1 cup loosely packed cilantro (leaves and stems // if you don’t like cilantro, sub a mix of more mint and some parsley)
- 1 small clove garlic, peeled
- 1/2 - 1 medium jalapeño, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp plain, unsweetened coconut yogurt (for store-bought, we like Culina)
- 2 Tbsp water (plus more as needed)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- To an 8-cup or smaller food processor, add all ingredients: mint, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño (starting with the lesser amount), lemon juice, maple syrup, coconut yogurt, water, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. If using a larger food processor, we suggest doubling the batch size or it may have trouble blending.
- Add more water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time, to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust as needed, adding more jalapeño for heat (we used the full suggested amount), lemon juice for acidity, maple syrup to balance and add sweetness, garlic for zing, or sea salt to taste.
- Enjoy fresh in bowls or on fritters, dosas, pakoras, chickpea pancakes, aloo sabzi, or aloo tikki.
- Best when fresh. Leftovers will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If freezing, freeze into ice cube molds then store in a well-sealed container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
