Mint sauce is traditionally served with Roast lamb and other lamb dishes. However, it is often used by Indian restaurants in UK to make Mint Raita Sauce, which is served with tandoori Chicken 1, 2, 3, 4 and various other snacks/starters. It is very easy to make. The best time to make is when fresh mint is available in abundance.

1 cup mint leaves, washed and de-stalked
1/4 tsp. salt, adjust to taste
