Mint And Cilantro Chutney Recipes

CILANTRO MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Pluck the leaves and tender stems from the coriander bunch.
• Also pluck mint leaves from their stems. Make sure to use only mint leaves and not stems as the chutney can get bitter if stems are used.
• Rinse both the coriander leaves and mint leaves very well in a colander or strainer with water. Drain all the water.
• Roughly chop them. Keep the other ingredients required for the chutney also aside.
• In a mixer-grinder or blender, take all of the chutney ingredients. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons water and blend or grind to a smooth and fine consistency. Make sure there are no chunks of any ingredient in the chutney.
• Transfer the chutney to a small bowl or jar. Use as needed. If storing keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
• You can serve this chutney as a dipping sauce with various varieties of pakora, samosa, kachori, vada varieties etc.
• You can also use to make spicy sandwiches. Simply make a thick chutney by adding less water and use as a spread on the sandwiches.
• Use the chutney to make various Indian chaat snacks like bhel puri, sev puri, ragda pattice, chana chaat etc.

Steps:

• Prepare the herbs by picking the leaves off the stem, washing and coarsley chopping.
• Dissolve the tamarind paste in a tablespoon of water.
• 'Zaar only allows me to list Asafoetida powder as an ingredient, but I prefer paste. Dissolve the asafoetida paste in a tablespoon of water. If you're using powdered asafoetida, skip this step.
• Put all the ingredients into a blender/food processor and grind into a fine puree. Use small amounts of water if needed to make the paste, but use sparingly.
• I've deliberately listed only a small amount of salt because the correct amount is totally to taste.
• Taste the puree and season to taste.
• Heat a non-stick skillet on meadium heat.
• Add the oil, and when the oil is warm add the herb puree.
• Stir around until the water evaporates and the mixtures darkens in color.
• Cool and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator.
• This chutney can be served with samosas, pakora, fritters or other savory snacks.
• It can also be used as a spread on bread for sandwiches (try topping with sliced cucumbers for a yummy sandwich).
• You can also add a small amount of jaggery or brown sugar dissolved in water while grinding if you wish.
