Notes
- Use ice cold water when you blend the ingredients. This will ensure that your green chutney will have a vibrant green color.
- Be careful not to over mixing the chutney. Overmixing might result in a bitter flavor.
- Refrigerate your chutney as soon as you make it if you don't plan to use it. This will help keep it bright green.
- Don't skip the lemon juice. Lemon juice helps maintain its bright green color.
- Use only the cilantro and mint leaves. The addition of stems can give the chutney a bitter taste.
