    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 for snacks. Green chutney is prepared using fresh herbs that impart green colour to the chutney and are thus called green chutney.

    There are endless variations of green chutney that can prepare easily at home. It can be sweet, savoury, tangy and a mix of all these. They complement Indian food so well that now it’s a norm to have them with meals also.

    Green chutney is one of the most liked 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 style of preparing chutney depending upon what suits its taste buds. Each time I make green chutney at home, I try some variations in the chutney recipe to find which one is better with which ingredients.

    I am going to share one of my methods of how I make coriander/cilantro chutney at home. I am sure 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 that once you try it, you will ask for it again!

    • Healthy as the ingredients present 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 this Cilantro Mint Chutney?

    For making this Indian cilantro mint chutney, you need the following ingredients:

    5 Minutes Green Chutney Recipe- 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 make tasty without chillies. Feel free to add as many as you like.
    • Peanuts: 20 g (optional) Peanuts provides good texture and consistency.
    • Yogurt: ½ cup Yogurt makes chutney thick and gives it a bright verdant colour. You can skip this if you are looking for dairy-free options. Instead, add more lemon juice.
    • Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon Lemon give it a slight tanginess and balance the flavours. If you have fresh lemons, what to say!
    • Spices - Cumin, carom, Sugar and salt according to taste.

    • This coriander mint chutney is best served with snacks or fast food as a dipping sauce.
    • When used as a spread on rolls, wraps, sandwiches, tortillas etc., it'll surely enhance their taste and flavour.
    • Serve it with rice, bread, naan or Indian flatbread, or biryani as a side dish and see its magic.

    Tips N Tricks

    1. Do not store this green chutney for 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 if you have, as this gives a better taste.
    5. If you don't have cumin seeds, you can replace them with cumin powder.
    6. For dairy-free options, replace the yogurt with tomato or tamarind paste.
    7. Peanuts are optional, but it makes chutney thick and creamy. For nut-free options, you can replace this with coconut.
    8. I would suggest you add 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 😋
