    How to make Tangy Mint Sauce

    1. Wash cilantro and mint thoroughly and pat dry excess water.
    2. Chop onion and green chilies into chunks and crush the garlic.
    3. Grind garlic, green chilies and onions into a coarse texture.
    4. Add mint, cilantro and lemon/tamarind juice, and water (1 tbsp. at a time) and blend smooth.

    Serve it fresh as a condiment with your meal, or store in an air tight container for later. Make sure to refrigerate it and use a clean spoon to pour it or it might catch fungus. You can leave it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
