Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Wash & dry the coriander and mint leaves well, and roughly chop the coriander leaves before measuring the greens out.
  • In a mixer, blend the coriander & mint leaves, with peanuts, cumin seeds, green chilies, salt & water, till it forms a smooth paste.
  • 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

  1. I regularly make two kinds of green chutney, this green peanut chutney for sandwich, and green yogurt chutney as a dip for tikkas and kababs etc. But I rarely freeze them, which is why I make them in smaller quantities for max 4-5 days of use. In this post I have doubled my regular recipe since I was freezing the chutney for later. 
  2. In this recipe I have also added the lemon juice, which I usually skip, when making chutney for immediate use.
  3. I have used bigger sized ice cube trays (linked above) for freezing the chutney, as I usually need the chutney in bigger quantities when I thaw later.
  4. Speaking of which, the chutney will thaw easily in the fridge or even on counter top. Just remove the number of green chutney cubes you need in a bowl, and let it thaw in the fridge or on the counter. And re-seal the freezer bag with the rest of the cubes.
  5. Finally, 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.
