Mint Chutney mixed in with Yogurt, along with
Dahl and Basmati Rice

This delicious sauce can be served with just about any Indian meals. When mixed with yogurt, it makes a cooling sauce that helps fiery dishes go down smoothly.

It can also be served with crackers as a snack or appetizer!

Mint Chutney

1 c fresh mint leaves
2 green onions
1 - 2 green chilis
1 t fresh ginger
1 t fresh garlic
1 t sugar
1/2 t salt
3 T lemon juice
Water to reach desired consistency

Plain yogurt (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture becomes paste-like. Mix with yogurt if desired.
