Recipe Notes

Coriander Chutney Recipe

  1. Rinse the coriander leaves and stems and chop roughly.
  2. If you are using mint leaves, only use the mint leaves ( no stems). Rinse and chop coursely
  3. Cut the green chilli into half.
  4. Peel and coarsely chop the garlic, ginger and onion.
  5. Add the coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies, giner, garlic and onion to a food processor/mixer grinder.
  6. Grind until a smooth paste.
  7. Transfer to a bowl and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and mix.
  8. Add a few drops of water if the chutney is too thick. While the chutney shoulldn’t be too runny, it should also not be too thick.

Note: You could also add a few drops of yoghurt to the chutney and mix. It really brings out all the flaours a lot more and balances out any strong ingredients.
