  • Mint Chutney is ready to serve with your favorite meal or snack!

Notes

  • Before preparing this recipe, be sure to wash the leaves thoroughly. Remove any stems or twigs and pat dry with a towel to avoid sputtering when you saute the leaves.
  • Instead of sauteing the leaves, you could also blend them raw with the other seasonings. Needless to say, the taste will be different and it is best to serve them fresh.
  • Mint Chutney needs to be refrigerated after the first day. You can store them for up to a week in the refrigerator. If you need them for a longer duration, it is better to store them in the freezer.
