Categories: Chat Chutneys

Ingredients

• Mint leaves - 2 cups
• Cilantro (Corriander Leaves) - 2 cups
• Onion - 1/4
• Lemon juice - 1 or 2 tblsp
• Green Chillies - 10-12
• Cumin seeds - 1 tblsp
• Salt - to taste

Directions

1. Combine all the ingredients and grind to a smooth paste in a blender or mixie.

2. (Do not use any water for grinding or use very little water. The moisture from the onions, cilantro and the lemon juice should be sufficient for grinding.)

3. Refrigerate or freeze and use as required.

4. Variations

5. If you do not like the raw smell of onion in the chutney, just add ½ of a green bell pepper (capsicum) instead.

6. If you want to make a thicker chutney, add a handful of roastes peanuts. But for chaats, make the chutney as such.

7. Tips

8. You can make this chutney in bulk and put it in ice tray. After it is frozen, put the chutney cubes in a ziploc bag in the freezer. This way you can take a cube and use it whenever needed.
