here’s a coriander chutney recipe. one chutney and many uses. this recipe is a no onion and no garlic recipe.
this chutney is a nice accompaniment with veg sandwich, veg toast sandwich, potato pakora, aloo tikki, dhokla, dabeli, samosa, aloo tikki burger, peas kachori and even goes well with chaat items like bhel puri, ragda patties, sev puri, dahi sev batata puri.
by the way if you do not have time to make coconut chutney for idli, dosa or medu vada, then you can make this chutney instead and it goes well with south indian snacks too.
usually i make green chutneys and keep them in the fridge. they are very handy when you want to apply them to your toasts or breads or have them as a dip with some finger food or snacks.
this coriander chutney stays well for 6-7 days. there is another green chutney which i will be posting soon and this one has a sweet taste.
so here is the recipe for the coriander chutney:
- 1 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves
- ½ inch ginger, chopped
- 1 green chili, chopped
- 1 or 2 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- black salt or rock salt or sea salt as required
- with some water blend or grind all the ingredients in a blender or chutney grinder or magic bullet till smooth.
- check the seasoning and add more salt or lemon juice if required.
- store the coriander chutney in a covered bowl or container in the refrigerator.
- use the chutney whenever required.

I just have a question. You only have to stir the ingredients in water and it comes out that smooth? seems that would be difficult with the chilies i guess you have to chop the heck out of them, lol.
hi liz. the ingredients are not stirred. they are blended in a blender or a chutney grinder till smooth. i think i have to mention the word blender in the recipe.
Thanks for this recipe! I can’t wait to make it!
thanks karen

kala namak adds so much flavor to this chutney
Dassana, even though the ingredients are simple, this chutney has so many different flavours when made with different hands!

Hi Dassana, This looks great -love the colours very vibrant!
I love to store chutney’s at home. My most common and fav ones are mint, cilantro and tamarind chutney. They go so well with chaat and other Indian snacks. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Your chutney looks so good and has got that lovely green color perfectly.
