Green chutney is one of the healthiest & is used often in Indian cuisine as a side with snacks, sandwiches and also to make chaats. This chutney aids digestion & enhances the taste, aroma and nutrition of any dish.

I usually make this green chutney when I plan to make chaat, wraps / kathi rolls, sandwiches, Indian style burgers  & snacks. I store it in a glass jar, refrigerate and use up in the next 2 days.

You can make this chutney in big batch and you can fridge this for few months. But I always like to make fresh chutney. Because the aroma of this fresh cilantro, mint and ginger is totally different. I always make this green chutney often times because in my family everyone loves this so we can use in side dishes as well. 

What is green chutney?

Green chutney is a flavorful condiment made with fresh mint, coriander/ cilantro, garlic, ginger and cumin. It is one of the most basic chutney that is eaten with all kinds of Indian snacks, chaats & sandwiches etc.

The unique aroma of the green chutney is absolutely amazing & elevates the taste & flavor of any snack. I love my green chutney freshly made. 

How to make Green chutney

1. For making this green chutney you will need handful of cilantro and mint. In a blender add some cilantro and mint. 

2. Add some peanuts, cumin seeds, chaat masala, black salt, salt and pinch of sugar, ginger, garlic and green chilies.

Tips

  • To make the best green chutney full of flavors, make sure you use fresh mint or pudina & daniya or coriander leaves.
  • Addition of 1 tbsps roasted peanuts or fried gram makes the chutney thick and binds it together. Also water doesn’t separate from the green chutney
  • You can skip garlic if you don’t like the pungent flavor of raw garlic.
  • The ratio of mint : cilantro can be changed. I have mentioned the quantities that work good for me.
  • Add 1 tbsp of yogurt if you like I really like it in mine which will give a vibrant color to your chutney and enhance the taste.
