Again don't trust me I have limited knowledge in cooking.😆

No ...i understand. I do add a quarter or half tsp sugar in white pasta or rajma or paneer. Even in mint chutney it tastes good but only if added in very minute amount. But then it's a matter of personal taste as well.

Store bought to be deep fried. Altgr, I love my brother but not that much to make samosa from scratch just because he had a dream about eating it.

Makes sense. Otherwise the confusion list for samosa recipe would have been much longer than mint chutney. 😆

Really? I have never added ginger to it. Will try it now.. I also don't add sugar.

My di recently made this chutney with kacha aam, she added ginger too and it did taste yummy so I guess I can try it in regular chutney too..

Yes do try it... but an inch of a ginger not more than that. I even added a little fresh coconut too once and it tasted very good.

Wait WHAT?! I never added ginger.

OK next time I'll try with ginger

TM, I hope your confusion has been solved.😆

Oh yes, I had also added coconut to it long back once.

Fresh coconut does the same job of Yoghurt actually plus it adds body as well. Also for a healthy twist you can add a handful of pumpkin/ sunflower seeds. This one particularly tastes so good with the paranthas.

I was ready to have this thread closed as my confusion had been addressed until Wat_Up threw an onion my way.

Sugar is used to balance the saltiness of the food as well. It balances the flavour.

Here is one recipe I know of.. mix them all and blend. Then add lemon juice in and blend again

• 1 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves
• 1-2 green chilies, chopped
• 1/4 cup grated coconut
• 1 tbsp jaggery, grated
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2-3 tbsp lemon juice

Disclaimer to abhi tak pata lag gya hoga 😆

Trust the majority opinion, onions are not required.

It's the first time I've heard anyone adding onion to mint sauce.
