You know I learned cooking because of you. I am a student in Melbourne and after leaving home(Pune) I didn’t even know how to cook anything. Then I started using your recipes to make easy sabzis. Thank you so much for all the recipes.

This is a great recipe. Have you tried freezing it? It would be good to make a big batch and then freeze it in small portions.
thanks. coriander does not freeze well. the taste changes a lot after you freeze it. so i would not suggest to freeze this chutney.
Can we use table salt instead of the salts u mentioned here??
teena, yes you can use.
Excellent recipe. Just made it without changing anything! Came out perfect. Thank you!
welcome shelly. glad to know this.
Out of interest what can used in place of Lemon Juice?
nate, you can use dry mango powder or dry pomegranate seeds.
Thanks
Am interested in making the Coriander Chutney though have recently developed an allergy to citrus and originally considering adding Cider Vinegar or a bit of water to the mixture.
welcome nate. skip adding citrus. no need to add any vinegar. the citrus is added to preserve the green color of the chutney. its not essential to add it. if you can get dry mango power or dry pomegranate powder then just to get sour hints, you can add of them. or otherwise make the chutney plain without the citrus.
Thank you.
welcome kohila
