Editors Review
Looking for a spicy Indian Dip, try pudina chutney. Chef's recipe has a perfect balance of spice and sourness and is easy to make. It is full of freshness and flavors, so much so that the smell of it can make one drool. The dip is best enjoyed with Indian snacks like chaat, samosa, kachori or dosa.Comments

Like your idea of blending it in lemon juice. Must have given it the extra tinge.

Oh I like your recipe for mint chutney-I am going to make this-I have so much wonderful mint and tomatoes in my garden, and I just pulled onions and garlic and always have lemons on the trees. PERFECT!
Do you make your own chat masala or buy?-if so what brand do you like? I think I have Shan Brand.
