The fresh flavors of Cilantro,Mint,lemon juice and Green chilies makes this a very flavorful chatni/dip. Few ingredients and spices give a very clean and distinct taste to this chatni. No street food in India is complete without this chatni.

To Freeze

Notes

The cashews give a very smooth texture to the chatni. You can replace with peanuts, if you choose. I like to use cashews as it gives a nice color.You can also use a few spoonfuls of Almond or cashew flour.
It freezes very well and its extremely easy to break as much as you need from the ziploc bag.
Its Important to use Freezer Bags, instead of normal ziploc bags, as they are thicker and meant for the freezer.
