A great tasting sauce or dip, it is very popular in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and there are many variations. I liked this one very much because of the mint and cumin combined. At first, I did not understand the taste because it was very new to me and because of the overpowering flavor of ground cumin, but on the second, and third time I dipped the fork to taste, it's wonderful flavor comes out and blended beautifully with the Tandoori chicken that I made too. Sooo good!
