Notes
My recipe will give you approximately ¾ cup of mint coriander chutney. You can scale the recipe up or down as per your requirements.
Discard the thick mint stems as they can make the chutney bitter. Also, do not increase the mint leaves; otherwise, the hari chutney will become darker in color.
