MINT CHUTNEY



Mint Chutney image

In Desi cooking, mint chutney enlivens eggs, kormas, biriyanis, sandwiches and many other dishes, adding a sour, spicy and fresh cooling sweetness. Where it really sings, though, is as an accompaniment to samosas and chaats. Use Greek yogurt if you want a creamy chutney. Depending on preference, you can skip the raw garlic.

Categories     condiments

Time 5m

Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup loosely packed cilantro with stems
2 cups loosely packed mint leaves
2 teaspoons cumin seeds or 1 teaspoon cumin powder
3 to 5 Thai green chiles, stemmed
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or water
2 garlic cloves (optional)

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.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 15.7, Fat 0.8, SaturatedFat 0.5, Cholesterol 3, Sodium 305.4, Carbohydrate 1.4, Fiber 0.2, Sugar 1.1, Protein 0.9

Tips:

  • Select the right yogurt: For the best results, use plain, whole milk yogurt. Greek yogurt is too thick and tangy for this chutney.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint is essential for this chutney. Do not use dried mint, as it will not have the same flavor or aroma.
  • Adjust the spiciness to your liking: If you like your chutney spicy, add more green chilies. If you prefer a milder chutney, remove the seeds from the chilies before chopping them.
  • Make it ahead of time: This chutney can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Yogurt and mint chutney is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is especially good with grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. This chutney is also a great way to use up leftover yogurt. With its bright flavor and creamy texture, yogurt and mint chutney is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
