Hari Chutney

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Herbs (3 minutes)

   • Thoroughly wash the coriander and mint leaves under cold running water to remove any grit.
   • Pat them dry gently with a kitchen towel. This prevents the chutney from becoming watery.
   • Use tender coriander stems but discard any thick, tough ones. Pluck the mint leaves from their stems, as mint stems can be bitter.
2. 2

   Combine Ingredients in Blender (2 minutes)

   • Place the prepared coriander and mint leaves into a high-speed blender or grinder jar.
   • Add the green chilies (stems removed), chopped ginger, garlic cloves (if using), cumin seeds, lemon juice, curd (if using), salt, and sugar.
   • Finally, add the ice cubes. The cold temperature helps prevent the herbs from oxidizing and turning dark during blending.
3. 3

   Blend to a Smooth Paste (3 minutes)

   • Blend the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth, uniform paste.
