Ingredients

2 cups packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
1 cup packed mint leaves
2 green chilies
1-inch piece fresh ginger
1/2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted
3 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp cold water

Method

Put everything in a blender and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides.
Add more cold water a spoonful at a time if it's too thick to pour.
Taste and adjust the salt and lime. Refrigerate in a covered jar.

Notes

Blending with an ice cube keeps the color bright; it stays green for about 3 days.
