CILANTRO-MINT CHUTNEY



Cilantro-Mint Chutney image

This vibrant green chutney from Maneet Chauhan's "Chaat" (Clarkson Potter, 2020) is as easy to make as it is versatile. The combination of mint, cilantro, green chiles and lime juice makes for a fresh and bright sauce, but the mango pulp is especially key, giving the chutney a slightly creamy texture and a subtly sweet flavor. This chutney has a lot of uses in Indian cuisine - a building block for chaat, or a dipping sauce for pakora, for example - and it can also be used as a sandwich spread or marinade. It lasts up to two weeks, refrigerated, in an airtight container, but it will start to lose its vibrancy and flavor after a week - best to make it one batch at a time to enjoy that day. -Priya Krishna

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup mango pulp (from 1 small mango, or from a can)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 large limes), plus more to taste
5 serrano chiles, halved and seeded
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, combine the cilantro, mint, mango pulp, lime juice and chiles, and blend at high speed until smooth. Season with salt to taste, then add water as needed, pulsing to combine, to achieve a thick and slightly chunky consistency. Adjust the seasoning with lime juice and salt as needed.
  • This chutney will keep refrigerated in a covered container for up to 1 week. After that, the vivid green color will begin to lose its vibrancy, though the chutney will still taste delicious for a full 2 weeks.

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.

Provided by Zainab Shah

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.

5 to 7 fresh green Thai chiles (1 1/2 to 2 inches long), stemmed
2 teaspoons amchoor* (ground dried mango)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Toast cumin seeds in a small dry skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant and a shade darker, about 2 minutes. Blend seeds with cilantro, mint, chiles, amchoor, and salt in a food processor until very finely chopped, then transfer to a small bowl and stir in lemon juice.
  • *Available at Indian markets and Kalustyan's (800-352-3451).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, mint, and cilantro add the best flavor to this chutney. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Adjust the spiciness to your taste: This chutney can be made as mild or as spicy as you like. If you like spicy food, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder chutney, omit the chili peppers or use less.
  • Experiment with different flavors: In addition to mint and cilantro, you can add other herbs or spices to this chutney, such as basil, parsley, cumin, or coriander.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender makes it easy to puree the chutney until it is smooth. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can grate the coconut and chop the herbs by hand, then mix them together with the other ingredients.
  • Serve the chutney immediately or store it for later: This chutney can be served immediately as a condiment with grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. It can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Creamy mint cilantro chutney is a versatile and flavorful condiment that can be used to add a pop of flavor to a variety of dishes.
