What is Chutney?

Chutneys have been part of my family as long as I can remember. It's a great combination of either a fruit ,or a Vegetable, or an Herb with Indian spices. Uff! I have a fond memory of my father bringing the Tandoori Chicken with Cilantro Chutney from a nearby town. I am drooling while writing this, yes, for-real! Chutneys are so versatile and every household has their own recipe of them all around India.

What’s In My Cilantro Chutney Recipe

Just a handful of fresh ingredients are all you need to make this incredible delicious and addictive chutney.

  • Cilantro(Hara Dhaniya)- Cilantro aka Coriander is such a mild flavored herb. Easily found at any major grocery store throughout the States. Cilantro along with its stems truly enhances the flavor of this chutney recipe.
  • Mint- Mint leaves give such a refreshing taste to this Chutney. I suggest not adding Mint stems at all. Mint stems are known to create a bitter flavor and you don't want that in your Chutney.
  • Garlic- I love the spicy flavor of garlic for this recipe. I recommend using fresh garlic cloves rather than bottle chopped garlic.
  • Cumin Seeds- Toasted and coarsely ground cumin seeds enhance the flavor of this chutney beautifully. You may use cumin powder if you can't find cumin seeds. However, I highly recommend toasted cumin seeds.
  • Green Chili- I like to use green chili for this recipe to spice up the flavors. If you are not a fan of green chilies, go for mild peppers like Jalapenos, Bell peppers or Serrano peppers.
  • Lemon Juice- Lemon juice truly cuts down any bitter flavor coming from mint and garlic.
  • Pink Salt- I have developed a love for Pink salt. The pungent flavor of Pink Salt substitutes for that Chaat masala flavor. You may use black salt, Kosher salt or a regular table salt if you can't find Pink salt.

Storing and Freezing Cilantro Chutney?

Chutney stays great in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Making Cilantro Chutney is super easy and it can be prepared ahead of time.

  1. To Refrigerate- Refrigerate Cilantro Chutney in an air tight container or a jar and use as needed.
  2. To Freeze- Freeze chutney in an ice tray or Ziploc bag. Chutney stays great for up to a month in a the freezer. Defrost the chutney in the fridge overnight before serving.
