- Grind mint leaves,coriander leaves with green chillies,cut ginger,chaat masala, salt, kala namak, sugar and lemon juice to a fine paste.
- It is always advised to taste the chutney once and adjust the seasonings according to your taste buds.
- I usually do not add water while grindingthe chutney,I try to grind the chutney by adding the lemon juice in intervals.
- Store it in a container in fridge or freezer safe container in the freezer.If it is stored in refrigerator it stays good for upto a week -10 days.If stored in freezer,it can be stored for long upto a month or two.You need to scrape a small portion with a spoon when needed and keep the remaining portion back in the freezer.
Notes:
- As I prepare it in a larger portion and freeze it I usually do not add water while grinding the chutney,I try to grind the chutney by adding the lemon juice in intervals.
- If the chutney is stored in refrigerator it stays good for upto a week -10 days.If it is stored in freezer,it can be stored for long upto a month or two.You need to scrape a small portion when needed and keep the remaining portion back in the freezer.
- If you are going to use the Green chutney instantly you can add a small onion or 1/2 cup Besan sev while grinding.It tastes nice with samosas or any other snack items.
