Cilantro mint chutney

This is a very popular chutney, that one has as a dip with various appetizers or even with food. It can be made as spicy as you want, depending on your capacity ;) And moreover it goes with the vegetable samosas!

Ingredients:

10 - 12 mint leaves washed
3 - 4 green chillies(depending on how spicy you like it)
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 small onion roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1 - 1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp lemon juice

Method:

Put all the indredients in a food processor or a blender and process it until it turns into a green paste with a smooth texture.

THATS IT! :) And you have your cilantro mint chutney ready!

You can even put this on a slice of bread with butter on it first, and have it has a snack. Or you can make a vegetable sandwich.

I will be posting that recipe next:) ENJOY!

I usually add a little sugar and tamarind water (tamarind (imli) soaked in water). Add a little jeera (cumin) powder and a little dhanya (cilantro) powder as well !
