Green Chutney is something I have to have to have on my plate, no matter how flavourful or spicy or bland my meal is, I love accompaniments and green chutney being my favourite one. I make it twice a week, though I know households that make it fresh every day. Freshly made chutney tastes amazing and if you can manage to, go ahead and make it fresh. Like I mentioned on Instagram, there are soooo many versions of it that it’s difficult to document all, but I am sharing the most basic, quick and easy one here today.
2cupsFresh, cleaned Coriander with stalks
1cupFresh, cleaned Mint without stalks
1tspCumin
1Ginger, roughly chopped (Inch)
Asafoetida
3Green Chillies
Salt - To Taste
2tbspLemon Juice (adjust to your preference)
1
Add all ingredients for the chutney + 2 tbsp of water to a mixer .
Grind into a fine paste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Serve freshly made chutney or use it as a dip, spread for sandwiches or anything you like.
In case you make a large batch, store in an ice tray in the freezer and you can use 1 cube at a time for the weeks to come!
