Mint coriander chutney or thick green chutney. This spicy tangy and tasty chutney can be paired with any snack or simply serve with your meal. It will definitely enhance the taste of your food.
Green chutney is a popular condiment in Indian cuisine. It is a bright green dip or sauce made from fresh mint and cilantro or coriander leaves, blended with a mixture of spices, lemon juice, green chili peppers or other herbs. Green chutney is usually served as a dipping sauce for snacks such as samosas, pakoras, and kebabs, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. It has a tangy, slightly spicy flavor that pairs well with a wide range of foods.
You can easily make it at home with just a few simple and easily available ingredients and you can also change the spices every time to get different taste. You can also skip mint leaves and make this chutney with only coriander leaves or cilantro. Add green chilli according to your taste. If you want your chutney more spicy add 1-2 more green chilli. You can also use lemon juice according to your taste. Add 1 tablespoon only if you don’t like much tangy taste and add more if you want your chutney more tangy. Green chilli and lemon juice will give your chutney a mouthwatering taste or in one word it will be chatpata. Try and enjoy tangy spicy and lipsmackingly delicious chutney or dip. You can store it in refrigerator for 6-7 days. Or if you want to store for a long time transfer the chutney in ice cube tray. Cover the tray and store in freezer.

I make a mint coriander chutney that I use for chaat, sandwiches, etc. In fact, it’s a staple in my kitchen and I almost always have some in the refrigerator. Your version is quite different, though. Love the addition of roasted peanuts, chickpeas and tomato – I’m sure it must have added so much more flavour to the chutney!
Thank you so much Priya. Do try, you will love the thick texture due to peanut and chickpea.
