Mint Coriander Chutney is a simple and flavourful chutney that can be used along with many savoury dishes. Mint Coriander Chutney needs only a handful of ingredients that are easily available. When stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, mint coriander chutney stays fresh up to a week.
I make a batch of this chutney very often and use it as required. Being one of my favourite chutneys, I use it as a spread for chapati, sandwich etc or as a dip to go with Palak Rajma Oats Lollipop, Veg Poha Kofta, bajjis, pakoras, bondas, parathas etc. Apart from these, the chutney is perfect for most of the chaat dishes. Be it this Masala Puri Chaat (Mysore-Bangalore style), or any other chaat variety, it only enhances the flavour of a dish.
I have some delicious recipes coming up, for which this chutney will be used. So, you might want to bookmark the recipe and quickly make some too.
Although, this is a very simple chutney that can be done easily, there are a few points that you should keep in mind.
1. Make sure you remove the mint leaves from the stalk and use only the leaves and NO stalk at all. Stalk can make the chutney bitter.
2. Over blending the ingredients will make the chutney bitter, as the mint leaves release oil and turn rancid when blended for too long.
3. It is better to add lemon juice after blending the ingredients. Lemon juice will help in preserving the rich green colour of the chutney.
4. Immediately store the chutney in your refrigerator in an air-tight container.
So, all you have to do is to be slightly cautious while making the chutney, keeping the points in mind, and your delicious flavourful mint coriander chutney will be ready in no time.
