QUICK MINT CHUTNEY“MINT SAUCE”
This tangy and creamy mint sauce is so fresh and needs only 5 ingredients. This recipe was taught to me by my friend Armaan who was born in Mumbai; he said that this chutney is served in all street food carts as well served with many foods like aloo tikki, samosas, tandoori chicken and vada pav. The traditional mint chutney is made with “Chat Masala” but he said that it wasn’t a common spice in the groceries store and to just switch it up with cumin powder. So I gave it a try and loved it! Easy preparation, bright and refreshing flavors you’ll want to keep this chutney all year around.
¡ENJOY!
