    Yogurt mint sauce is a fresh and cool chutney that is perfect to serve with poppadums and starters. This Indian mint sauce recipe is easy and quick to make with minimal ingredients that are mostly available in kitchen pantry.

    As always, you will find the full ingredients list with measurements and detailed recipe instructions in a separate recipe box underneath the text section. To bypass the text section choose “SCROLL TO RECIPE” or “PRINT RECIPE” or click the “SCROLL TO VIDEO” option to watch the full video of this recipe. All options are located at the beginning of the post.

    Perfect dip for starters

    This is a standard Indian mint chutney served with poppadums along with onion salad and sweet mango chutney in most of the restaurants in the UK. It can be used as an Indian dipping sauce that goes well with all tandoori starters such as pineapple stuffed paneer tikka, deep-fried starters such as onion bhaji, vegetable pakora, bread vada. I whip up a batch of this dip or carrot dip or eggplant chutney to go with snacks, toast and starters. 

    Yogurt mint sauce recipe Variations

    You could add couple of garlic cloves while blending to impart an extra flavour.

    Add extra chillies to make it extra hot.

    You could swap freshly ground black pepper for green chilli.

    Combine the ground paste with greek yogurt/hung curd to get a thick consistency so that you can use it as an Indian mint chutney to spread on a sandwich.

          This sauce is so flavourful and so easy to make that too with ingredients I usually have in hand. I made it last week and enjoyed with samosa.
