  • Green Chutney Recipe

What is green chutney?

Chutney is made with fresh herbs, vegetables, fruits, and spices. It can serve as a side dish to almost any main or as a dipping sauce. Green chutney is prepared using fresh herbs that impart a green color to the chutney and is thus called green chutney.

The green chutney can be prepared with endless variations. It can be sweet, savory, tangy, and a mix of all these options. These complement Indian food so well that now it’s a must-have essential to have them with meals.

Green mint chutney is one of the most liked chutneys and goes well with any meal or snack. No Indian street food and snacks are complete without this green chutney. It is a normal routine to have chutney with an Indian meal. Apart from flavour it also boosts the digestion process.

Each household has its own style of preparing chutney depending on what suits their taste buds. Each time I make green chutney at home, I try variations in the recipe to find which is better with which ingredients.

You will like this Indian cilantro sauce recipe because:

  • It is an easy and simple recipe that takes just 5 minutes to prepare.
  • It is so flavourful once you try it, you will ask for it again!
  • Healthy- the ingredients in the chutney aid the digestion process (check out my other super tasty carrot chutney recipe also).

So let's dive in for details!

What goes in cilantro chutney?

To make this Indian coriander mint chutney, you need the following ingredients:

green chutney labelled ingredients
  • Coriander/ Cilantro: 3 bunches - I prefer mostly leaves with fine stems and cut the thick, tough stems. I believe chutney tastes better with leaves. The best would be for you to try both the variations and decide for yourselves.
  • Green Chillies: 4 - No chutney can be made tasty without chilies. Feel free to add as many as you like.
  • Peanuts: 20 g (optional) Peanuts provide good texture and consistency.
  • Yogurt: ½ cup Yogurt makes chutney thick and gives it a bright verdant color. You can skip this if you are looking for dairy-free options. Instead, add more lemon juice.
  • Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon Lemon gives it a slight tanginess and balances the flavors. If you have fresh lemons, what to say!
  • Spices - Cumin, carom, Sugar, and salt according to taste.

You are free to experiment with ingredients. You can also try some of these common variations in your chutney preparation:

  • Replacing yogurt with tamarind paste or tomato will give a better version of this green chutney, and of course, it will stay for a long.

How to serve green dip?

  • This coriander mint green chutney is best served with snacks or fast food as a dipping sauce.
  • Use as a spread on rolls, wraps, sandwiches, tortillas, etc.
  • Serve it with rice, bread, naan, paratha, or biryani as a side dish and see its magic.

Tips

  1. Store this green chutney for NOT more than a week.
  2. Always refrigerate it. If it's too cold to serve, keep the required quantity at room temperature before serving.
  3. Add water a little at a time.
  4. Use rock salt for better taste.
  5. Substitute cumin seed with cumin powder if unavailable.
  6. For dairy-free options, replace the yogurt with tomato or tamarind paste.
  7. Peanuts are optional, but they make chutney thick and creamy. For nut-free options, you can replace this with coconut.
  8. Use more coriander leaves than mint leaves as it will mask the pungent taste of mint leaves.

    I love fast recipes! This recipe is delicious and healthy. I replaced the yogurt with plain almond yogurt because I can’t have dairies but it was still so good.
    You are right, using rock salt really boosts the taste. I also loved the peanuts in it 😋
