Notes
- I use much more cilantro than mint because too much mint can make the chutney darker and stronger in flavor.
- Ice cubes help keep the mixture cold while blending and help maintain a brighter green color.
- Add very little water, if any, to keep the chutney thick and flavorful.
- Adjust green chilies according to your spice preference.
- When using raw mango, reduce the amchur and lemon as needed.
- Freeze extra chutney in an ice cube tray for small, convenient portions.
- This chutney works especially well with chaat, sandwiches, samosas, pakoras, paneer tikka, and wraps.
