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.
