Coriander Chutney
This green Coriander Chutney recipe is prepared from fresh coriander and mint leaves. It is one of the most popular chutneys in India. This is a very refreshing chutney with lemon adding a citrusy tang to it. This traditional Indian chutney is ideal to serve with pakoras, kebabs, samosas, as a spread on your roti/chapati or just enjoyed as a side. This recipe is one of the most versatile chutneys and can be used in almost each dish and with everything. It adds a spicy hotness that is the very essence of Indian cooking.
