Green chutney is one of those versatile condiments that instantly elevates any meal. Whether you’re serving samosas, pakoras, sandwiches, dosas, or kebabs, a spoonful of fresh coriander chutney adds a burst of flavour.

This is my quick and simple version that comes together in just five minutes with everyday ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 handful fresh coriander leaves
• 1 green chilli
• 1 small piece of ginger
• ½ teaspoon cumin (jeera)
• Juice of half a lemon
• Salt to taste
• Water, as needed

Tips for the Best Green Chutney

• Use fresh, vibrant coriander leaves for the brightest flavour.
• Add water gradually to keep the chutney thick rather than watery.
• Adjust the number of green chillies depending on your preferred spice level.
• Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds brightness and helps preserve the colour.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
