Notes

  • Use only the leaves and do not use the stems.
  • Make sure the mint leaves are fresh and not wilted or stale.
  • To make a spicy chutney add more green chillies.
  • Lemon juice is added to avoid discoloration. But feel free to omit adding lemon juice if you do not prefer
  • Grind or blend the mint leaves and other ingredients finely.
  • Do not add too much water and make a thin chutney.
  • If you can get black salt, then please do add it.
  • Also do try to add chaat masala and do not skip it.
  • You can easily scale both the recipes to make a big batch.
  • Note that the approximate nutrition info is for the mint chutney made with curd.
