Do you eat out at Indian restaurants?

If you do, I can pretty much guarantee that you’ve had green chutney before. It is the basic required condiment that is on the table even before you get your glass of water.

Usually it, along with tamarind and sometimes mango chutney, comes complimentary on the table with papadum.

If you order any kind of flatbread or dosa, green chutney is going to come along with it as well.

Now when many people are still ordering more take out than dining in, maybe your local Indian take out NEVER sends enough chutney. Well now you can make it yourself and go swimming in Green Chutney if you like!

So what is green chutney made of? Basically, cilantro and mint with a few spices.

Basically, this is subjective. Some people prefer it smooth and some chunky.

How does green chutney become smooth?

It’s yogurt. Depending how much or how little yogurt you use, will determine how creamy of how chunky the chutney is.

You can even omit the yogurt completely and make Vegan Green Chutney. You can use water instead of yogurt to still get a smooth consistency.

• You can have it with any flatbread like Aloo Kulcha or Keema Naan
• Chickpea Spinach Samosas or Paneer Potato Samosas
• Bhindi (Okra) Pakoda or Plantain Pakoda
• Aloo Bonda (Potato Fritters) or Balekai Podi (Plantain Fritters)
• Use it as sandwich spread

…and if you’d like to try more chutney…
