Dish description
Super easy Indian mint sauce made to the Editor’s own recipe.
This is a very quick and easy recipe for a mint sauce dip to go with your poppadoms and starters. You can easily adjust it to your own taste.
It’s best prepared fresh and ready to use and only takes a couple of minutes at most to make.
How to Make Indian Mint Sauce
This super fast recipe will give you a classic Indian restaurant style mint sauce.
Serves 2 to 4 as a dip.
Add the yogurt to a small bowl and mix in the mint sauce.
Add the turmeric, mix and taste, add more in small amounts to your taste but don’t go mad.
Add a large pinch of salt and around a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar and again taste and adjust.
Add the ground cumin.
Mix well and store in the fridge ready for serving.
You can play around with these quantities but I found them just about right. You can also try adding chilli if you want to give it a bit of bite but for me the classic Indian mint sauce is not spicy.
