Coriander Chutney (Cilantro Chutney)
Description
This coriander chutney recipe uses a handful of fresh cilantro leaves combined with one green chili, garlic cloves, cumin, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, all blended with cold water to a smooth consistency. The freshness of the cilantro provides a bright, green herbal flavor, while the green chili adds mild heat. Garlic and cumin deepen the aroma and taste, and lemon juice introduces acidity that balances the herbaceous notes. The water amount controls the thickness; too thin dilutes the flavor, so it is best to add gradually. For a thicker texture and a different flavor dimension, almond meal or dried coconut can be incorporated. This simple sauce can be served as a dip, spread, or accompaniment to snacks and meals.
Ingredients
- 40 g cilantro stalks trimmed, fresh
- 1 green chilli
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoon water cold
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper ground
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
Notes
- Taste the chutney after blending and adjust salt and spices as needed for balanced flavor.
- Add water gradually to achieve a thick but blendable consistency, avoiding dilution of flavors.
- To thicken the chutney and add texture, incorporate almond meal or desiccated coconut before blending.
- For extra aroma and a hint of spice, add fresh ginger along with garlic when blending.
