Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     Food Processor     Ginger     Quick & Easy     Yogurt     Mint     Summer     Honey     Jalapeño     Cilantro     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup packed chopped fresh coriander
1/3 cup packed chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh jalapeño pepper, not seeded, or to taste (wear rubber gloves)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon honey or sugar, or to taste
1/4 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • In a food processor purée the coriander, the mint, the jalapeño pepper, the garlic, the gingerroot, the lemon juice, the cumin, the honey, and salt and pepper to taste, scraping down the side of the bowl occasionally, transfer the chutney to a bowl, and whisk in the yogurt. The chutney may be made 3 hours in advance and kept covered and chilled. Makes about 3/4 cup.

Tips

  • Fresh ingredients: Use the freshest coriander and mint leaves you can find. This will give your chutney the best flavor.
  • Chop the herbs finely: Finely chopping the coriander and mint leaves will help to release their flavor and make the chutney smooth.
  • Use a variety of chilies: Using a combination of green chilies, red chilies, and serrano peppers will give your chutney a complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chutney: Overcooking the chutney will dull the flavor of the herbs and make it too thick. Cook it just until the herbs have softened and the chutney has thickened slightly.
  • Taste the chutney as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your taste. You may want to add more salt, sugar, or chili peppers.
  • Serve the chutney immediately: Coriander and mint chutney is best served fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the flavor will be best if you eat it within a day or two.

Coriander and mint chutney is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes.
