Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh Coriander (Cilantro) – washed and pat-dried
• ½ cup fresh Mint Leaves – washed and pat-dried
• 2–4 Green Chilies (I used Bird’s Eye chilies, but a jalapeño or serrano pepper can be substituted), to taste – roughly chopped, deseeded if less heat is desired
• 2 Garlic cloves – roughly chopped
• ½ cup Mayonnaise (full-fat is best)
• 1 TBLS Greek Style Yogurt (optional – or Plain Whole Milk Yogurt)
• ½ TSP ground Cumin
• ½ TSP ground Cayenne (optional), to taste
• ¼ TSP Kosher Salt, to taste
• 2–3 TSP freshly squeezed Lime Juice, to taste

How To Make Cilantro Mint Sauce​?

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and pat-dry the coriander and mint leaves. If your blender isn’t very powerful, roughly chop the green chilies and garlic.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the coriander, mint leaves, green chilies, garlic, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), cumin, cayenne, salt, and lime juice. Blend until smooth, stopping to stir with a spoon if necessary.
3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust salt or lime juice if needed.
4. Serve or Store: Use immediately, or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate until ready. This sauce pairs beautifully with kebabs, kathi rolls, salads, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, or as a dip, spread, or dressing.

Recipe Tips:

• Dry the Herbs Completely: Ensure the cilantro and mint leaves are fully dried after washing to avoid excess water, which can dilute the sauce and affect its consistency.
• Adjust Spice to Taste: Start with one chili and add more if you prefer extra heat. Deseeding the chilies also helps control spiciness.
• Blend in Stages if Needed: If your blender isn’t powerful, blend the herbs and chilies first before adding the creamy ingredients for a smoother texture.
• Use Fresh Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice provides the best flavor. Bottled lime juice can taste more acidic and may overpower the herbs.
• Taste and Adjust Salt Last: Salt can enhance the flavors but start with a small amount and adjust at the end to avoid over-salting.

How To Store Leftovers?

First, let the leftover cilantro mint sauce cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
