Mint Chutney

Ingredients

  • 2 cups packed roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
  • 1 cup packed roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened grated coconut
  • 1 tablespoon juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 to 2 small hot green chilies, stemmed
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/4 cup water, plus more as needed
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Directions

Add the cilantro, mint, onion, coconut, lemon juice, chilies, garlic, and ginger to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until everything is chopped very fine, pausing to scrape the bowl whenever the mixture climbs the sides. If the sauce needs loosening, blend in more water 1 tablespoon at a time, just until it is thick but still pourable. Serve right away, or spoon it into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
