Instructions: Mint Chutney is super easy to make: add all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.  We have recently started using a nutri bullet which works effortlessly.  However any blender will work.  Mint chutney freezes very well also.  It's not uncommon for us here at Basushomestyle HQ to make a large batch of mint chutney and portion vacuum sealed bags and toss them in the freezer when we need them.  However if you are anything like us, you will have this available in your fridge all the time.  Enjoy!

How to make Cucumber Raita

How to make Cucumber Raita

Raita is a staple condiment at just about every Indian table.  This condiment is great because the sour cream and yogurt has a cooling effect on the pallet when contrasted with the heat that can accompany other Indian dishes such as curries and kebabs.  Traditionally raita’s primary ingredient is yogurt, along with spices, chopped red onion and cucumber.  In our raita we combine whole milk yogurt with sour cream to give the raita richer and creamier taste.
