Notes

Cooking Tips

  • Use fresh herbs: The flavor depends on vibrant, fresh cilantro and mint. Avoid wilted or yellowing leaves.
  • Tame the spice: If you're spice-sensitive, remove the seeds from the green chilies or use fewer.
  • Balance is key: The lemon juice isn't optional—it adds zing and prevents discoloration.
  • Try different nuts: You can swap peanuts for almonds or add more cashews for a richer, slightly sweeter chutney.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
