Step 1

Wash the coriander and mint leaves thoroughly in cold water. Drain well to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

Add the cleaned herbs, ginger, green chillies, and all the dry spices (black salt, roasted cumin, salt, and chaat masala) into a blender.

Step 3

Pour in the lemon juice and a splash of chilled water. Grind into a thick, smooth, yet pourable paste.

Step 4

Carefully pour the herb paste into clean ice cube trays. Place the tray in the freezer until the cubes are frozen solid.

Step 5

Once solid, pop the cubes out and transfer them to a labelled ziplock bag or an airtight container. Store them in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Step 6

Simply drop 1–2 cubes directly into whisked curd for instant raita, or stir them into water or soda for a refreshing mint drink or as a flavoured dip.
