Notes

Tips

  1. Wash: Make sure to wash coriander and mint leaves thoroughly.
  2. Avoid over-blending: Avoid grinding the chutney for too long in an electric blender, as the heat generated can cause the chutney to turn black.
  3. Add Ice Cubes: Adding 1-2 ice cubes while blending will prevent the heat generated by the blender from turning the green chutney black.
  4. Add Lemon Juice: Add Lemon juice before blending the chutney to maintain its vibrant green color.
  5. Yogurt Consistency: Use fresh, thick homemade yogurt for a creamy, luscious tandoori mint yogurt sauce. Using Greek yogurt or hung curd works well.
