Mint yogurt chutney recipe
Description
This chutney starts by finely chopping or blitzing mint leaves, cilantro, garlic, and green chili into a coarse paste. The herby mixture is folded into natural, unflavored yogurt and seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper. The yogurt base contributes a creamy tartness balancing the fresh herbs and the mild heat of the chili.
The result is a versatile chutney that can accompany various dishes, providing a bright, cooling contrast especially with spicy or fried foods. It showcases the subtle pungency of garlic and fresh herbaceous notes from mint and cilantro.
If the yogurt is too thick, a spoon or two of milk can adjust the consistency. Greek-style yogurt works as a substitute but may require adding lemon juice and milk to achieve a similar tangy texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural yogurt unflavored
- mint leaves a handful
- cilantro aka green coriander, a handful
- 1 garlic small clove
- black pepper from the grinder, freshly ground
- salt according to taste
- 1 green chili optional.
Instructions
- Put the mint leaves, cilantro, green chili, and garlic in a mini chopper. Blitz it until you get a slightly rough paste of herbs.
- In a bowl, pour the yogurt and add the green paste. Season it with salt and black pepper.
- Using a fork or a spoon, mix the yogurt until the herbs everything is well mixed. Taste it and add more seasoning if needed.
Notes
- If the yogurt is thicker than desired, add a little milk to loosen the consistency.
- Greek-style yogurt can be used but may need lemon juice and milk to balance thickness and tartness.
- Adjust salt and black pepper to taste after mixing for best flavor.
