This mint cilantro chutney balances fresh herbs with tart lemon and a touch of heat from green chile, blended smooth with yogurt for a cooling finish. It pairs well with samosas, grilled meats, or sandwiches, and keeps in the fridge for easy use throughout the week. A staple condiment in Indian cooking, it comes together with minimal prep and no cooking required.

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  2. Add the cilantro, mint, green chiles, garlic, ginger, yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, sugar, and salt to a blender.

  3. Blend on high, adding water a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is smooth and pourable, scraping down the sides as needed.
