Indian Mint Yogurt Chutney
Indian mint yogurt chutney is a staple accompaniment in South Asian cuisine, served alongside various dishes like samosas, pakoras, or tandoori entrees. The fresh mint and cilantro lend a refreshing taste to the yogurt, which, with its cooling effect, is particularly well-suited for spicy foods. In India, every family has its own chutney recipe, passed down through generations. This version is quick to prepare and perfect as a refreshing dip, even for grilled meats.
