Whatever Indian restaurant you visit, this dahi ki chutney is served with tandoori, fried, or grilled recipes like tandoori chicken, paneer tikka, onion pakora, and samosa. This curd pudina dhaniya chatni is **spicy and tangy** in taste, with a creamy texture. Its light yet bright green color makes it very irresistible. Like cilantro mint green chutney, this yogurt mint dip comes together in under 5 minutes using simple ingredients. ## Ingredients To make dahi chutney recipe, you will need a few simple ingredients: cilantro (fresh coriander leaves), fresh mint leaves, thick plain yogurt (dahi, curd), green chillies, fresh ginger, garlic cloves, salt, cumin powder, [chaat masala](https://www.whiskaffair.com/homemade-chaat-masala-recipe/), and freshly squeezed lime juice. You can keep the cilantro stems, as they are very flavorful, but make sure to discard the thick mint stems, as they can turn the chutney bitter. To make the curd chutney recipe, use thick yogurt (curd, dahi) or Greek yogurt. If the yogurt is thin, the chutney will be watery. If your yogurt is not thick, transfer it to a fine-mesh strainer and keep the strainer over a bowl. Now refrigerate it for 2-3 hours. All the extra water will drip into the bowl, and you will get thick yogurt in the strainer. Lime juice can be replaced with lemon juice. You can adjust the green chilies as per your taste. I like to make [roasted cumin powder](https://www.whiskaffair.com/how-to-make-cumin-powder/) at home, but feel free to buy it. You can also add a few curry leaves and grated fresh coconut to make a variation of this yogurt mint chutney. ## How To Make Dahi Ki Chutney Add the following ingredients to a blender jar. - 1 cup cilantro (packed, rinsed) - 1/2 cup mint leaves (packed, rinsed) - 2-3 green chilies (stalks removed, rinsed) - 1-inch piece of ginger (peeled and chopped) - 2 cloves of garlic (peeled) - 1/2 cup thick yogurt - 1/2 tsp cumin powder - 1/2 tsp salt - 1/2 tsp chaat masala powder - 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice ![All the ingredients added to a blender.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Dahi-Chutney-Step-1.jpg) Blend until smooth. Scrape the sides of the jar a few times while blending. Check for salt and add more if needed. Serve! ![Ready dahi chutney.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Dahi-Chutney-Step-2.jpg) ## Frequently Asked Questions **How to make vegan dahi ki chutney?** To make it vegan, replace dairy yogurt with vegan yogurt, such as coconut yogurt, soy yogurt, etc. The rest of the ingredients used in this recipe are vegan-friendly. **How to make gluten-free curd chutney?** Chaat masala sometimes has asafetida (hing) added to it. You can replace it with dry mango powder (amchoor) to make the curd mint chutney gluten-free. ## Serving Suggestions Serve this delicious chutney chilled with any Indian starters, snacks, or appetizers. I particularly enjoy serving it with pakoras, samosas, cutlets, kebabs, and more. You can also serve it with biryani, pulao, parathas, khichdi, or any Indian meal. It can be used as a spread for sandwiches, wraps, and rolls. You can drizzle it over chaat preparations like dahi puri, sev puri, dahi bhalla, etc. ## Storage Suggestions Leftover chutney can be stored in an airtight glass or steel container for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving. I do not recommend freezing it as its texture might change once you thaw it. ## You Might Also Like [![A white bowl filled with thick, creamy Cabbage Pachadi chutney topped with a dried red chili, curry leaves, and spices, placed on a burlap cloth next to half a head of cabbage and more dried red chilies.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cabbage-Pachadi-2-3-600x800.jpg)](https://www.whiskaffair.com/cabbage-pachadi-recipe/)Chutneys VIndian Vegan ### Cabbage Pachadi Recipe (Andhra Style Cabbage Chutney) [![A glass jar filled with tangy tamarind chutney, with a metal spoon inside, sits on burlap.
