The Method

Combine all ingredients (mint, cilantro, green chilies, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, cumin powder, amchur powder, and salt) in a blender or food processor.
2
Add 2 tablespoons of water initially and blend until a smooth paste is formed.
3
If the chutney is too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or chili as needed.
5
Transfer the chutney to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Chef's Tips

For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the green chilies before adding them to the blender.

If you don't have amchur powder, you can use a little more lemon juice to achieve a similar tangy flavor.

Store the chutney in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

This chutney can be served with samosas, pakoras, tikkas, or as a side dish with any Indian meal.

For a smoother texture, you can strain the chutney through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
