What is green chutney ?
Green chutney is a flavourful condiment made with fresh coriander, fresh mint leaves and green chillies.
Tips to make green chutney
- Always use fresh coriander and mint leaves to make flavourful green chutney.
- The addition of 4 to 5 almonds or 1tbsp roasted peanuts or fried split Bengal gram makes the chutney thick and binds it together and the water does not separate
- It is up to you to add ginger garlic. I add garlic as I love the flavour of garlic and skip the ginger.
- The ratio of mint and coriander can be changed. I usually use more coriander and a few mint leaves.
There are a lot of variations to make green chutney. I have given below 2 varieties of green chutney
