About Recipe
In Indian cuisine, green chutney is basically a green sauce packed with Indian herbs and spices. Chutney is a form of sauce and Green refers to the color so it's locally called Hari chutney. It's a popular chutney that every house in South Asia loves to serve with desi food. I found it as a multi-purpose sauce (chutney) that you can serve with sandwiches, chaat, kababs, and fried food. It's mandatory to serve with besan Pakora.
The flavor of coriander and mint makes it more tempting and a blend of lemon juice improves the taste. Healthy to eat with fried snacks. Fresh chutney flavor is much enhanced as compared to canned chutney.
