Bright, zesty, and packed with bold flavors, Green Coriander Chutney (Hara Dhaniya Chutney) is the quintessential Indian condiment that adds a burst of freshness to any dish. Made with vibrant coriander leaves, spicy green chilies, aromatic garlic and ginger, and a dash of lime juice, this no-cook sauce delivers the perfect balance of tang, spice, and herbaceous goodness. The optional addition of mint leaves enhances its cooling notes, making it a versatile accompaniment for snacks like samosas, chaats, sandwiches, or even grilled meats. Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and ready in just 10 minutes, this chutney is an easy and healthy way to elevate your meals with authentic Indian flavors. Perfect for dipping, drizzling, or spreading, it can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Thoroughly rinse the coriander leaves and mint leaves (if using) under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or let them air-dry for a few minutes.
Roughly chop the coriander leaves, mint leaves, ginger, and green chilies to make them easier to blend.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves (if using), green chilies, garlic cloves, ginger, cumin seeds, salt, sugar, and lime juice.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to help the blending process and achieve the right consistency.
Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth, vibrant green paste. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender jar to ensure everything blends evenly.
Taste the chutney and adjust salt, sugar, or lime juice according to your preference.
Transfer the chutney to a clean bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
