Notes
- Cleaning herbs – Always wash mint and coriander leaves 2 or 3 times. Sometimes small sand will be stuck inside, that can spoil chutney or make it taste odd.
- Water adding – Don’t pour too much water while grinding. I always sprinkle little by little and grind. Chutney should be smooth but not watery.
- Taste check – After grinding, taste the chutney once. Sometimes lemon will be too sour or mint taste will be more. Adjust things as needed before serving.
- Cold water use – If you want chutney to look bright green, add cold or ice water while grinding. It will keep colour fresh and nice.
- Serve fresh – Best taste comes when chutney is fresh. So if making for guests or snack time, try to make 1–2 hours before only.
- Garlic optional – I didn’t add garlic in this one. But if you want more punchy taste, you can add one small garlic while grinding.
