Fundi Satani

Fundi Satani, our Maldivian version of mint chutney, is just superb with Masbaiy and Rihaakuru. We recently made some and below is our version.

Replace the lime with a few bilamagu (bilimbi) if you have some, and remember to adjust the tastes to your liking before you call it done. 

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mint leaves
• 2 garlic cloves
• 6 curry leaves
• ½ inch ginger
• ¼ githeyo mirus (or to taste)
• 1 green chilli (or to taste)
• ½ cup grated coconut
• ¼ tsp. ground cumin
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ½ lime

Instructions:

1. Place everything in your grinder.
2. Grind until everything is well mixed and minced. Don’t grind it all the way to a smooth paste though. We added a little bit of water, about two teaspoons, to help bring everything together.
3. Do a taste test before you call it done, and that’s it.
