Mint and Coriander are both cooling herbs and this is a wonderful addition to the meal options of Pitta Diet or those suffering from Pitta Imbalance. You can also make this chutney into a cooling drink by simply adding some plain water, some more salt, and lemon.
We have added green mango to this recipe. You can replace green mango with tamarind, or lemon, or any sour fruit of your choice such as star fruit or green apple. Just try out different combinations and you will get a hang of what to add based on your required flavours!
