It’s hard to imagine Indian cuisine without chutneys! Today, I’m sharing a versatile chutney called Yogurt Mint Chutney, made with fresh coriander, mint leaves, creamy yogurt and spices. It adds a refreshing, tangy flavor to a wide range of dishes. This chutney is a restaurant favorite, often served as a side dish alongside tandoori dishes like paneer tikka, tandoori broccoli, tandoori aloo, and various kebabs. It’s also perfect with samosas, pakoras, khaman dhokla, or any Indian appetizer. Beyond that, you can use it as a spread in wraps, a salad dressing, or even as a refreshing side with vegetable biryani. Basically, you can use it anywhere you would use green chutney. Here are more mint recipes you might enjoy: mint peanut chutney, mint rice, mint makhana, and cucumber chutney sandwich.
How to Make Indian Yogurt Mint Chutney
Firstly, wash the coriander and mint leaves 2-3 times under water until it’s clean. In a blender jar, add coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, ginger, roasted jeera powder, chaat masala, lemon juice, salt, and ice cubes. Blend with 2-3 tablespoons of cold water (or as needed) until you get a thick, smooth paste. Take yogurt in a bowl and whisk until smooth and creamy. Then, add the blended chutney to the yogurt. Mix well. Adjust the consistency with water if needed. Serve Immediately or refrigerate for a bit of time before serving.
Storage Suggestions
To Refrigerate: Tandoori mint yogurt sauce stays fresh for up to 2 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, its flavor and freshness begin to decline after this period. You can also pair it with veg pulao, vegetable biryani, aloo paratha, and more. You may also drizzle this sauce over roasted vegetables for an additional burst of flavor. This chutney is perfect to amp up all your meals. To Freeze: I do not recommend freezing this sauce. Yogurt-based sauces don’t freeze well. The texture and consistency might change after thawing.
