Equipment

Ingredients

5 cup coriander leaves chopped
5 cup mint leaves
2 cup peanuts unroasted
2 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
8 green chillies
4 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoon lemon juice
3 cup water

Instructions

Start with properly washing the greens, and straining away the excess water.
In a mixer, add 5 cup coriander leaves (roughly chopped), 5 cup mint leaves, 2 cup peanuts, 2 teaspoon cumin seeds,8 green chillies, 4 teaspoon salt, 4 teaspoon lemon juice, and 3 cups water.
Blend everything together till you get a smooth paste. Sandwich Chutney is ready!
Once done, transfer the chutney into an ice-cube tray (or multiple ice trays, depending on the size of the trays and quantity of chutney).
Cover the tray with a lid or plastic cling wrap, and place it in the freezer till the chutney is frozen solid.
Once the green chutney cubes are totally frozen, remove from the freezer, and transfer the cubes into a freezer safe ziplock bag.
Seal the bag, after ensuring to remove all the air out from the bag.
Label & store the bag in the freezer for future use.
The green chutney cubes store well for 3-4 months.

Notes

Thawing green chutney for use: When you are ready to use the frozen chutney, simply remove the number of cubes of green chutney you need, and thaw them in a bowl in the fridge or on your kitchen counter top at room temperature. Then re-seal the bag with the remaining green chutney cubes, and put it back in the freezer. Note: There are many different kinds of vacuum sealers in the market, that ensure to suck out all the air from the freezer bag. But I usually suck out as much air as possible with a straw, and seal the bag.
