  1. Looks delicious! About how many cups of chutney will this make? I’m planning on cooking for 35 people, with your ragda pattice recipe, and trying to figure out how to scale up. Thank you!

  2. This was delicious! I had it with roasted chicken and potatoes, and it was exactly what I had hoped. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! It is one of my favorite chutneys, but I had never made it before.5 stars

  3. Greetings thanks for all the yummy recipes.Recently I have tasted this mint and dhania chutney but it had a sweet and sour tangy taste. I just loved it. Perhaps you know how that was made. If you know that recipe please share

  4. Lovely recipes Dassana! I love your recipe for ragda pattice – you have inspired me to cook!
    I wanted to check if I can freeze this chutney? I do freeze the tamarind date chutney and it stays well for 6 months in the freezer. What about this one?5 stars

  6. Love your food thanks

    and just to ask if its Mint or Spearmint???? in the pictures it looks like Spearmint, i know that in different countries the names change for some items thanks5 stars

    1. hema since it’s a mint chutney it’s imperative to add mint but if you are not fond of mint then you may skip them. But mint always add a lot of flavor and aroma.

  7. hello dassana amit, gr8 blog 🙂
    i am searching for following answers to—–
    – i want to grow corainder & mint at home how to do can u guide?5 stars

    1. thanks. for coriander, lightly crush in your palms the coriander seeds. they should not be roasted ones. place them in soil and cover with a loose layer of soil. water and let them sprout. for mint, buy some mint leaves having tiny roots on the stem. pluck the leaves and add it to your recipe. dig the root part into the soil. you can use 5 to 6 stems for one small pot. lightly water. the leaf shoots will sprout in a few days.

  8. Thanx soo much for the delicious recipes – made the mint coriander chutney today – my hubby bought 4 bunches each and I’ve been dying to make a chutney with them .. Couldn’t stop licking my fingers as I was cleaning the blender !! 😉
    Mmmm … Deelicious5 stars

  9. Could u pls tell me y the chutney gives a bitter taste inspite of not using stems not Evn smallest n adding lime juice..
    This happens every time!!

    1. Two things. Either the lime has gone bitter. This happens with limes ehich are not fresh. Or the quality of mint leaves. So it can be either of the two reasons.

  10. Today rainy outside i makes samosa with mint coriander chutney for my mother n brother it was my punishment for not gone to school…………………………….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!5 stars

  12. Hi Dassana!

    I tried your mint chutney recipe. It is bitter in taste, I think, because of the mint. The bitterness is making it unpalatable. Please let me know, how I can reduce the bitterness, without losing the taste.

    1. the bitterness is due to the mint. did you use the stems also? the stems would make it bitter. try adding more lemon juice. it will reduce the bitterness a bit.

  13. Hi Dassana!
    I LOVE LOVE LOVE your recipes!!! Keep it up. WIll you be posting a recipe for samosas any time soon?

  14. Oh, your recipes are treasures… thank you so much for sharing them. I’ve hoped for authentic recipes like these without western ingredient substitutions and now I’ve found yours! Thanks so much, again and again.

  15. hi dassana! received ur very first mail related to mint.went thru it and liked it .have 2 queries related 2 mint,hope u will try 2 solve them.{1}i want 2 have recipe of sweet chutney made from mint recipe of mint chai.i tried to make mint chai by using 10-12 leaves of mint but it turned out to be bitter in taste what can be the possible reason/s for its bitterness.thanks.

    1. thanks rewa. i shall find out more about sweet mint chutney. have never made it before.

      also regarding the mint chai – if the mint leaves are older and not tender they tend to have a slight bitter taste. so if adding these mint leaves to your chai, then add less about 2-3. if adding the small tender mint leaves than you can add 7-8 mint leaves for 2 cups of chai.

      i have many mint plants growing in the balcony. some of them are smaller shrubs yielding small to medium size leaves. they are not bitter. some of them are large shrubs yielding very big leaves. you must have not seen such large mint leaves in the indian market. i have not captured any shot of these mint shrubs in the above post.

      what i have observed is that these big mint leaves, especially the older ones are bitter to taste. i added them once to some dish, and the dish had a strong touch of bitterness to it. so i think it is also the variety of the mint shrub that might affect the bitterness.

  16. Lovely chutney..Will try this soon..
