Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh coriander leaves
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 1 unit green chili
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh coriander leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any grit and dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
In a blender or food processor, combine the washed coriander leaves, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves, green chili, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.
If the chutney is too thick, add the water gradually while continuing to blend, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the chutney and adjust salt or lemon juice as per your preference.
Transfer the coriander chutney to a serving bowl. It can be served immediately, or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Enjoy the chutney as a spread on whole grain bread, a dip for vegetables, or a dressing for grilled meats or salads.
