Green chutney for chaat -Learn how to make mint coriander green chutney recipe with coriander, mint, onion, garlic as main ingredients for Indian chats.
I tried this chutney after tasting this in a restaurant, after so many tries, I could recreate the same taste and love this a lot with papad!
Uses
Green chutney is very handy for sandwiches as a spread. Be it vegetable grilled sandwich, or just spread over a slice of bread, sandwich with buttered bread slice.
Almost all chaat recipes need green chutney, so this one is perfect to drizzle over and goes very well wit hit.
I use it as dip for pakoras and just serve simply with roasted papad like they serve in Indian restaurants.
Variations
You can try this with any one of the green alone, like either with mint or with coriander alone.
Make a no onion no garlic version and just add a small piece of ginger.
Add water according to the consistency you need. If you are going to add for chaats, it can be watery for easily pouring over.
Using as dip? Make it slightly thicker. Check out my samosa recipe.
Storage
You can make a batch of green chutney for chaat and use it for a week storing in a clean box for a week in fridge.
You can freeze this for about 3 months. Do not freeze back once thawed.

The green chutney is always so versatile and useful. I don't add raw onions though because the ones we get here are too pungent. Chutney looks bright and nice.
Like the color, very bright green. Good with everything samosa, idli, chaats..

nice pic too.thanks for sharing such a nice recipe
My pudina is in vigorously growing and I was planning on making a chutney soon. This is a new kind since I rarely use onions in mine. Bookmarked to be tried 😀

i too make the same way but i add coconut and make it as an accompaniment for idly 😛 nice clicks as usual 🙂
lovely! but it does look watery..how thin is it supposed to be?
The consistency should be thick,since nothing like badam,cashew are used for thickening,it is bit watery. We have to use very little water,say 2 or 3 tbsp.
Adding onion to green chutney is new to me! Looks very nice
Pics are too gud and very tempting. Nice chutney recipe and never tried it before.
love the vibrant colour 🙂
a must try!

For how many days can u use it with refrigeration? As all the ingredients are raw…also it contains onions…so pl cflarify
1 week to 10 days. Lemon juice will not let it spoil.
