Ingredients You’ll Need

​To get the best flavor, try to use fresh, seasonal ingredients.
​* Amla (Indian Gooseberry): 3-4 medium-sized (deseeded and chopped)
​* Fresh Mint Leaves (Pudina): 1 cup (tightly packed)
​* Fresh Coriander Leaves: ½ cup (optional, for extra depth)
​* Green Chillies: 2-3 (adjust based on your spice preference)
​* Ginger: 1-inch piece (peeled)
​Black Salt (Kala Namak): ½ tsp (adds a classic “chaat” zing)
​* Roasted Cumin Powder: ½ tsp
​* Salt: To taste
​* Water: 1-2 tablespoons (only if needed for blending)
​* Optional: A pinch of Hing (Asafoetida) for digestion.

Step-by-Step Instructions

​1. Prep the Amla
​Wash the amlas thoroughly. Using a knife, follow the natural segments of the fruit to slice it. Remove and discard the hard inner seed. Chop the flesh into small pieces to ensure smooth blending.
​2. Clean the Herbs
​Pluck the mint leaves from the stems (discard the stems as they can be bitter). Wash the mint and coriander leaves in cold water to remove any grit or dirt.
​3. The Blending Process
​In a high-speed blender or mixer-grinder, add the chopped amla, mint leaves, coriander, green chillies, ginger, and spices.
​Pro Tip: Add 1-2 ice cubes while blending. This prevents the blades from heating up and keeps your chutney a vibrant, bright green color!
​4. Adjust Consistency
​Pulse the mixture until it reaches a smooth or slightly coarse paste (as per your preference). If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time.
​5. Taste and Serve
​Transfer to a glass bowl. Taste and adjust the salt or chillies if necessary. Your fresh Amla Pudina Chutney is ready!

Storage Tips
​* Refrigerator: Store in an airtight glass jar for up to 4–5 days.
* Freezer: You can freeze this chutney in ice cubes trays. Once frozen, move the cubes to a zip-lock bag. They stay fresh for up to a month!Health Benefits of Amla Mint
