Mint Chutney

🇮🇳 Indian

Ground fresh, tempered hot: mint chutney is proof that five ingredients can carry a whole kitchen. Ready in 15 minutes including prep.

Prep 10 min Cook 5 min Serves 6 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Green Chili2
  • Mint Leaves1 cup
  • Fresh Cilantro1/4 cup
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Lemon1/2
  • Neutral Oil1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the main — roast, fry or grate as the tradition asks; colour is flavour here.

  2. 2

    Grind everything to the texture you like: silky for the table, rustic for the banana-leaf plate.

  3. 3

    Taste and balance salt, sour and heat — a chutney should wake the meal, not fight it.

  4. 4

    Temper the mustard seeds and curry leaves in hot oil and pour over the top.

  5. 5

    Serve fresh; it keeps two days refrigerated if it lasts that long.

Chef's tip

A spoon of cold water while grinding keeps the blade from heating the oils.
