Richa’s Top Tips

  • Do not add too much water while blending. Both mint and coriander release quite a bit of water, especially when blended with salt and sugar. Adding too much water will leave you with a watery paste that will separate. Start with a tablespoon or two, blend and add more if needed
  • You might need to use a spoon to or a spatula to scrape off the sides once but that totally depends on your blender
  • This recipe makes a spicy green coriander chutney, but feel free to adjust the amount of chillies to suit your tolerance
  • You can also add things like garlic and/or raw mango to this green coriander chutney. It really alleviates the flavor, and raw mango adds a lovely tartness while also helping to preserve the bright green color
  • If you are adding raw mango, then can skip the lime juice or reduce it by at least half
  • Mint leaves in this recipe can darken the color pretty quickly. Make sure to squeeze some lime juice to prevent that.
  • Refrigerate the chutney in an airtight jar for up to a week. Anymore and the herbs will start spoiling
