Green Chutney
Serving Size: 6 people
DESCRIPTION
Green chutney, AKA: cilantro or coriander chutney is a staple in the Indian cuisine. This condiment is popular for appetizers, snacks, and great side for Indian dishes. It smells and tastes so herby fresh and citrusy.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 bunches cilantro leaves
- 1 whole shallot roughly chopped
- 1 whole fresh lime juice or lemon juice
- 4 tablespoon unsalted cashews or peanuts
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- 2-3 whole serrano chilis
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon Kala Namak (black salt) optional
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional
- water as need
METHOD
- Roughly chop 2 inches from the cilantro bunches to remove the stems. Remove the stems from the chilis and squeeze out all the fresh juice from the lime.
- Start with 4 ounces of water in the blender. Toss everything in the blender and mix till smooth. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water at a time, if the blender is not moving things smoothly (only as needed).
- Taste your chutney and adjust the spice, salt or citrus level as desired.
- Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight mason jar or serve right away.
NOTES
Always taste your chutney and adjust the spice, salt or citrus level as desired. Sometimes chilis are not as spicy as others, and you might want to add in more if you prefer a higher spice level.
