This Green Chutney for chaat is one of the versatile chutney recipes. This chutney can be used to spice up and flavor your chaat and this can be used as a sandwich spread, for salads and what not? I love to have this chutney in my fridge always.
This is a super simple, no stove recipe. Add all ingredients and grind them together and you are done. No tempering is required even. Also there is no set measurement for this recipe. Each and every household has their own green chutney recipe and here is my version. I usually add more cilantro than mint for this chutney. But equal measures can be used too. I posted the sweet chutney and green chutney for chaat with curry leaves, (Yes I did experiment it with curry leaves and tried it in my Dahi Bonda)
Ok, why I am posting green chutney all a sudden? The answer is, tomorrow is 1st of September. Errr Confusing huh? It’s the mega marathon and I welcome you all to the Cooking Carnival that starts tomorrow. I will be using this green chutney a lot in my upcoming recipes so I am posting this well ahead. By now, you would have guessed my theme. But let me disclose it officially tomorrow. Till then happy guessing and enjoy this green chutney.
