CILANTRO MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Pluck the leaves and tender stems from the coriander bunch.
• Also pluck mint leaves from their stems. Make sure to use only mint leaves and not stems as the chutney can get bitter if stems are used.
• Rinse both the coriander leaves and mint leaves very well in a colander or strainer with water. Drain all the water.
• Roughly chop them. Keep the other ingredients required for the chutney also aside.
• In a mixer-grinder or blender, take all of the chutney ingredients. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons water and blend or grind to a smooth and fine consistency. Make sure there are no chunks of any ingredient in the chutney.
• Transfer the chutney to a small bowl or jar. Use as needed. If storing keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
• You can serve this chutney as a dipping sauce with various varieties of pakora, samosa, kachori, vada varieties etc.
• You can also use to make spicy sandwiches. Simply make a thick chutney by adding less water and use as a spread on the sandwiches.
• Use the chutney to make various Indian chaat snacks like bhel puri, sev puri, ragda pattice, chana chaat etc.

EASY MINT CHUTNEY (5 MINUTES!)

Steps:

• 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.

MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until smooth and thick enough to hold at the lip of a spoon without any liquid running. The chunky bits should not separate from the liquid. The consistency of the chutney will probably depend on the strength of the blender, and a chunky chutney made with a lower powered blender tastes just as good as a very smooth one. The chutney can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

FRESH MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Put the onion in a mesh strainer and rinse for about 5 seconds under cold running water. Transfer to an electric mini-chopper and add the chile, ginger, salt, and sugar. Grind to a coarse texture, stopping the machine to scrape down the sides several times. Add the lime juice, water, and mint. Process to a fine texture; it should resemble a thick pesto. Occasionally stop the machine and scrape down the sides to facilitate an even puree.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flavors to bloom. Taste and adjust the flavors. Add water by the teaspoon if the relish is too thick; however, it should not be liquid. Set aside for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld and for the texture to slightly thicken. The initial bright green color will dull, but the flavor will remain robust. This relish tastes best fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
