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.
