Mint is by far my favorite herb.It enhances the flavor of anything you add it into and transforms mundane dishes into something special.I’ve used mint in my favorite dishes over here and here.So good.I like to mix mint with cilantro in my savory dishes to get a subtle balance of flavors without overpowering either herb.I also love Salmon.It’s packed with protein and omega 3.It does have a strong taste and some of you might find it a bit overpowering, but I’ve grown up in India and the fresh water fish in India has a pretty strong flavor too, so I don’t mind it at all.
Coming to my recipe, it has the mint and cilantro along with some cumin and coriander. The best part is that the sauce comes together in a blender and the aroma is unbelievable as it cooks.You can smell the lovely herbs and once you add in the spices, you start to get hungry.The yoghurt is a small amount just enough to add the tang and a lovely consistency to the sauce.Serve it with some hot steaming rice and you have one amazing meal.Enjoy.
