on Sep 14, 2023, Updated Sep 21, 2023 Green Mint Chutney (pudina chutney) is a recipe that doesn’t need any introduction. It’s THE classic Indian accompaniment and when it’s not brought to the table you have to call for it immediately. The perfect mint chutney is all about nailing the right combination of ingredients with the right measurements so that the flavor is bright and tangy without being too bitter or sour. The recipe is super easy and I love making this mint sauce fresh every other week so that we always have a batch at home. Nothing beats it!
Ingredients You’ll Need To Make Mint Chutney
While it’s called mint chutney, this condiment is made with both mint and coriander as herbs, along with some aromatics and spices.
Mint leaves: Only leaves, make sure to discard the stems as they are quite bitter! Coriander leaves: Only leaves and tender stems Green chili: for the spicy kick Ginger, Garlic, Onion: the classic aromatics for a pungent pop of flavour Hung Curd: I prefer to use hung curd over our ghar ki dahi because it’s richer and makes our mint sauce restaurant-style creamy
I also add chaat masala, jeera powder, salt, and some sugar to add a stronger depth of flavour to the pudina chutney which really makes a difference, don’t skip this!
