Author Notes
Though the ingredients in this chutney are simple, each ingredient comes together to create an explosion of flavor. A staple in my mother's home, we would make this fresh each week, ready to pop into our lunch boxes with rice, bread, or even in a wrap. A great combination is a flatbread filled with pulled beef or seared leftover lamb, salad, and a dollop of this mint chutney! Lasts well covered, in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. —Sumayya Usmani
