You may know green chutney by a few other names: it’s also known as coriander chutney or hari chutney. However you say it, this is a delicious Indian condiment that’s a go-to side for Indian appetizers like samosas or simply naan bread.
Though, there are many use cases for coriander chutney that goes beyond exotic Indian food. Use it as a dipper for vegetable cruditรฉ (add a tablespoon or two of plain yogurt to the chutney to make it more family friendly)or try it spread for roasted vegetable sandwiches just to name two.
Jalapeรฑo pepper is the heat source we use here, but any green chili pepper will work if you prefer to choose something milder (or hotter).
