Instructions
To embark on creating this exquisite Green Coriander and Mint Chutney, begin by gathering all your fresh ingredients. In a blender, combine the chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, curry leaves, roasted peanuts (or almonds), ginger, green chillies, sugar, and the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.
As you blend, incorporate just enough water—about 1/4 cup—to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. The touch of lemon juice not only elevates the flavors of the mint and coriander but also serves as a natural preservative, keeping the vibrant green color intact.
Once you have blended everything into a silky paste, transfer your green chutney to a bowl. This delightful chutney can be refrigerated for a few days, making it a convenient addition to your meals.
