Green chutney with flavours of mint and coriander as well as the tang from lemon juice is a versatile Indian condiment that can be used in many different ways. Coriander Mint chutney or Green chutney is very refreshing with burst of flavours. It is often paired up with sweet and sour chutney to assemble most Chaat items. Just a dash of this stunning chutney in any Indian chat preparation will give a new dimension to its taste. Great for dipping and drizzling, this bright, spicy sauce adds that zing to your snack. It works wonderfully as a marinade too.
If you want a sauce that’s more cooling than spicy, simply omit the green chilli. One of my favourite ways to use green chutney is in a sandwich with cheese. Just these two ingredients and bread makes for an amazingly quick snack.
