Mint Chutney Recipe Tips

How do you store mint chutney?

The best way to store mint chutney is to refrigerate a week’s worth of it in a glass jar and freeze the remaining chutney in an ice cube tray. The refrigerated portion will be good for 7 to 10 days, and the frozen portion will last for up to 1 month.

What is mint chutney used for?

Mint chutney is very versatile. Use it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps, or as a dressing on salads or Indian chaat. It’s also a great dipping sauce for samosas or a topping for your favorite Indian recipes.

Is mint chutney spicy?

The type of green chili pepper you use will determine how spicy this chutney is. Substitute 1/2 serrano pepper for 3 to 4 mild green chili peppers.
