Minty Green Chutney recipe with step by step photos
-
-
Take one fresh bunch of mint leaves. Do not buy wilted leaves, buy the bright green ones that have not faded in color.
-
Pick the leaves from the stems and discard the stems.
-
Wash the leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt and dust that might be on them.
-
Roughly chop the leaves to make it easier for blending. We will need around 2 cups of chopped mint leaves. Keep aside.
-
Take one fresh bunch of coriander. The leaves are fresh if they have not become brown and have a fresh aroma.
-
Separate the leaves and the stems. We are only going to use the leaves and the soft stems.
-
Rinse the coriander leaves in water to remove any dirt that might be stuck to them.
-
Roughly chop the leaves for the minty green chutney. Keep aside.
-
Put the mint leaves in a mixer jar.
-
Then add the coriander leaves. We are using 3/4 cup of roughly chopped coriander leaves.
-
Now add the lemon juice. This will help maintain the color of the chutney. If you don?t add lemon juice, the chutney will keep on getting darker.
-
Also add roughly chopped green chillies. Since this is an acidity friendly recipe, we have only used 1/2 tsp of green chillies.
-
Add the sugar to balance the flavor of the lemon.
-
Finally add salt to taste.
-
Add approximately 1/4 cup water so that it is easily blended.
-
Blend into a smooth paste. As the leaves stick to the jar, you might have to scrape the sides once or twice and blend again for a smooth chutney.
-
Store this in the freezer in an airtight container. You can serve this chutney along with Moong Dal and Paneer Chila.
-
Take one fresh bunch of mint leaves. Do not buy wilted leaves, buy the bright green ones that have not faded in color.
