How to Make Coriander Chutney
Wash the coriander leaves thoroughly and drain the excess water.
Roughly chop the onion and green chillies.
Add the coriander leaves, chopped onion and green chillies to a blender jar.
Squeeze the juice of one fresh lemon directly into the blender and add the salt.
Add just a small amount of water and start blending.
If all the coriander does not fit comfortably into the blender at once, add it gradually. Once the first batch reduces in volume, add the remaining coriander and blend again.
Continue blending until you get a smooth green chutney. Add only as much water as necessary to achieve the consistency you prefer.
Restaurant-Style Tip
For a slightly creamier version, add 1 to 1½ teaspoons of curd after the chutney has been blended.
Blend it once again for a few seconds.
Your fresh homemade coriander chutney is ready!
What Can You Serve With Dhania Chutney?
This chutney works wonderfully with pakoras, samosas, sandwiches, parathas, kebabs, cutlets and many other Indian snacks.
It can also be served alongside a regular lunch or dinner whenever you want something fresh, tangy and spicy on the side.
AAOCOOKKARE Tip
Don't add too much water at the beginning. Start with a very small quantity and add more only if needed. This makes it easier to keep the chutney thick rather than accidentally making it watery.
