· 2 cups packed fresh mint leaves, washed
· 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, washed
· 1 small onion, coarsely chopped
· 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
· 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
· 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, or to taste
· 2 small green chili peppers (optional)
· 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
· 2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
· Salt, to taste
Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Remove to a bowl and adjust the seasoning according to taste. The chutney tastes best when fresh. Store it in a jar and refrigerate. It stays fresh for up to one week.
Variation: One small, raw mango (if in season) can be substituted for the lemon or lime juice. Peel the mango, discard the pit, and blend it with the other ingredients.
