Advice

Add one ice cube to the blender and stick to leaves only — it keeps the chutney vivid green and prevents bitterness.

Why it works: Cold temperature protects chlorophyll; removing stems reduces harsh notes while lemon + a pinch of sugar stabilize color and balance heat.

Twist: Make it creamy with 30 g (2 tbsp) thick yogurt or nutty with 30 g (¼ cup) roasted peanuts; for a tangy summer vibe, blend in ½ small green mango.
