Why This Recipe Works

  • The chutney can be used right away. All you need to do is toss the ingredients into a blender, and puree. While the flavour gets better as it sits, it is not required.
  • The flavours are balanced. I love a spicy chutney as much as anyone else, but sometimes you just want something to cool down an already spicy dish. This chutney is it! It is creamy, cool, and balanced.
  • You can customize the texture. You can make this chutney as thick or as thin as you prefer.

Ingredients

Ingredients for yogurt mint chutney labelled on a sheet tray.
  • Greek yogurt: Because Greek yogurt has the liquid strained out, you can control the thickness of the chutney.
  • Fresh mint
  • Jalapeño pepper: Jalapeño peppers add just a hint of spice, that is mellowed out by the yogurt. The spice level is completely customizable.
  • Chaat masala: Chaat masala is a mix of spices, including mango powder, dried pomegranate, and black salt. It adds a tang.
  • Cumin
  • Salt [not pictured]
  • Honey [not pictured]
  • Lime [not pictured]

A full list of ingredients with measurements is located on the recipe card, below.

Instructions

START WITH...

Collecting all your ingredients - This will make cooking so much easier. Gather all the spices you will need, and keep them nearby. 

Step by step instructions to prepare yogurt mint chutney.

Add all the ingredients to a blender. Adjust the amount of water to your desired consistency.

Blend until the mint and jalapeño are completely blended with the yogurt.

Transfer to a jar or a bowl, and enjoy.

Expert Tip

Start by adding less water! It is much easier to add more to thin the chutney out, than it is to thicken a chutney that is too thin.

Substitutions

  • Greek yogurt: You can use regular yogurt as well, but you will end up with a thinner consistency.
  • Jalapeño pepper: For extra spice, Thai chili peppers will work. You can also leave the hot peppers out completely for a mild chutney.
  • Honey: Use sugar instead of honey.
  • Lime: You can use lemon.

Variations

  • Coriander: This recipe omits coriander [cilantro] because I personally do not like it, and I enjoy the freshness of mint on its own. If you are a fan, feel free to add some in!

Equipment

This is what I used to make this recipe - Please be mindful that different equipment and cooking utensils may yield varying results. Most of my favourite equipment can be found on my storefront.

  • Blender

Storage

Store leftover chutney in an airtight jar or container for up to 3 days. While it may keep for longer, there is a risk of discolouration which is not super pleasant.
