Green Chutney

(Mint Chutney, Cilantro Chutney, Kothamalli Chutney, Pudhina Chutney)

Ingredients
Mint leaves - 2 cups
Cilantro (Corriander Leaves) - 2 cups
Onion - 1/4
Lemon juice - 1 or 2 tblsp
Green Chillies - 10-12
Cumin seeds - 1 tblsp
Salt - to taste 
Method 
1. Combine all the ingredients and grind to a smooth paste in a blender or mixie.
        (Do not use any water for grinding or use very little water. The moisture from the onions, cilantro and the lemon juice should be sufficient for grinding.)
2. Refrigerate or freeze and use as required. 

Variations
     - If you do not like the raw smell of onion in the chutney, just add 1/2 of a green bell pepper (capsicum) instead.    
     - If you want to make a thicker chutney, add a handful of roastes peanuts. But for chaats, make the chutney as such.
