FRESH MINT CHUTNEY

Categories     Side     Mint     Raw

Yield makes 2/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion
1 or 2 hot green chiles, such as Thai or Serrano, chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Generous 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons water
2 cups lightly packed fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped (1 large bunch)

Steps:

  • Put the onion in a mesh strainer and rinse for about 5 seconds under cold running water. Transfer to an electric mini-chopper and add the chile, ginger, salt, and sugar. Grind to a coarse texture, stopping the machine to scrape down the sides several times. Add the lime juice, water, and mint. Process to a fine texture; it should resemble a thick pesto. Occasionally stop the machine and scrape down the sides to facilitate an even puree.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flavors to bloom. Taste and adjust the flavors. Add water by the teaspoon if the relish is too thick; however, it should not be liquid. Set aside for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld and for the texture to slightly thicken. The initial bright green color will dull, but the flavor will remain robust. This relish tastes best fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh mint leaves. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • You can use any type of yogurt in this recipe, but Greek yogurt or plain yogurt will give you the thickest chutney.
  • If you don't have green chilies, you can use a serrano pepper or jalapeño pepper instead. Just be sure to remove the seeds before using.
  • You can adjust the amount of garlic and ginger in this recipe to taste. If you like a more pungent flavor, add more garlic and ginger. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • This chutney is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Fresh mint chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you're using it as a dipping sauce for samosas or as a marinade for chicken, this chutney is sure to please.
