This is a staple condiment for every Indian snack or meal. Packed with fresh flavors of mint, cilantro, lime juice, chillies it enhances favorite Indian snacks like samosa, fried foods, chaats, kebabs and everywhere you need to perk up a meal.
For the mint chutney
- 1 medium avocado, pitted scooped and diced
- 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt
- 1 small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stem
- 1 cup loosely packed mint leaves only
- 1 jalapeño or green chilies to your heat level
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 1 fat date or 2 tablespoons raisins or 1/2 teaspoon sweetener of your choice to balance the flavor
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt,
- water just enough to blend
Place all the ingredient in a high-speed food processor. Blend all ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning and lemon juice as needed.
What could I use in lieu of cilantro, which to my husband tastes intensely like soap?
Also, for medical reasons I cannot eat mint. What could I substitue?
Thank you!
Hi Marjorie, You can use fresh parsley and dried oregano and make chimmichuri which is very similar. Here is the recipe if you’d like to try.https://www.nourishdeliciously.com/?p=5978 Thank you for stopping by.
