Spicy Mint Chutney
• Use fewer chilies for a milder chutney or add extra for more heat. • Fresh mint and cilantro provide the brightest flavor. • This chutney is commonly served with samosas, pakoras, sandwiches, wraps, and grain bowls. • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. • A small amount of sugar helps balance the bitterness of mint and the heat from the chilies. Health Benefits: Mint and cilantro provide antioxidants and phytonutrients that support overall health. Ginger and garlic contain compounds that may support digestion, immune function, and cardiovascular health. This chutney adds intense flavor with minimal calories, making it an easy way to enhance vegetables, legumes, and whole-grain meals while reducing reliance on heavier sauces.
