Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Fresh Mint Leaves Adds brightness and aromatic flavor; substitute with fresh basil for a different herbaceous note.
  • 1 cup Fresh Cilantro Leaves Enhances the sauce's freshness and complexity; can be replaced with parsley if cilantro is unavailable.
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Provides creaminess and tang; regular plain yogurt can be used for a looser texture, or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice Adds acidity to balance flavors; lime juice is a suitable alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder Introduces warmth and depth; ground coriander can be used for a subtler spice.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor; adjust to taste.
  • 1 inch Fresh Ginger Adds a slight warmth and freshness; use ground ginger in a pinch, but fresh is preferred.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Imparts savory richness; use garlic powder as a last resort, but fresh is recommended for maximum flavor.
  • 1 piece Green Chili or Jalapeño Offers heat; adjust according to preference or omit for a milder version.
