About Dahi Chutney
Dahi Chutney (Yogurt Mint Dip, Dahi Ki Chutney, Curd Pudina Dhaniya Chatni) is a popular Indian condiment served with snacks and appetizers. Whatever Indian restaurant you visit, this dahi ki chutney is served with tandoori, fried, or grilled recipes like tandoori chicken, paneer tikka, onion pakora, and samosa. This chutney is spicy and tangy in taste and creamy in texture. The light yet bright green color makes it very irresistible. Like cilantro mint chutney, this curd pudina dhaniya chutney comes together in under 5 minutes using simple ingredients. You can keep the cilantro stems, as they are very flavorful, but make sure to discard the thick mint stems, as they can turn the chutney bitter. To make the dahi chutney recipe, use thick yogurt (curd, dahi) or Greek yogurt. If the yogurt is thin, the chutney will be watery. If your yogurt is not thick, transfer it to a fine-mesh strainer and keep the strainer over a bowl. Now refrigerate it for 2-3 hours. All the extra water will drip into the bowl, and you will get thick yogurt. Lime juice can be replaced with lemon juice. You can adjust the green chilies as per your taste. I like to make roasted cumin powder at home, but feel free to buy a bottle. You can also add curry leaves and grated fresh coconut to make a variation of this chutney.
1 cup cilantro (packed, rinsed) ½ cup mint leaves (packed, rinsed) 2-3 green chilies (stalks removed, rinsed) 1-inch piece of ginger (peeled and chopped) 2 cloves of garlic (peeled) ½ cup thick yogurt ½ teaspoon cumin powder ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon chaat masala powder 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Blend until smooth. Scrape the sides of the jar a few times while blending. Check for salt and add more if needed. Serve!
