In a blender or food processor, combine coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies, onion, garlic, and ginger. Blend until you get a smooth paste.
Heat a small pan over medium heat and add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the blended green paste to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chutney thickens slightly and the raw smell of the herbs is gone.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and salt. Let the chutney cool to room temperature.
Preheat a non-stick pan or tava over medium heat.
Place a methi papad on the pan and roast for about 30 seconds on each side, until it crisps up and lightly browns. Repeat with the remaining papads.
