- 1 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 3/4 tsp black salt
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3–4 tbsp water (optional, for blending)

- Prepare Ingredients: Rinse the mint and coriander leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt. Roughly chop the green chilies to help the blending process.
- Blend: Add the mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilies, cumin powder, black salt, and lemon juice into a mini blender or food processor. Add 3-4 tablespoons of water as needed to facilitate smooth blending. Blend until the mixture becomes a smooth, vibrant green paste.
