INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE GREEN CHUTNEY FOR CHAAT

1. Add all the ingredients in the blender, and grind to a smooth paste, using minimal water as required. I used about 3 tablespoons water. Do not add too much water in one go, add a tablespoon at a time. Stays good for up to a week in the refrigerator. You can also make a large batch and freeze it in ice cubes. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bag. Defrost frozen chutney cubes as required.
2. Tip to retain the green color by Chanda Advani, from my Facebook foodie group: Grind the chutney with ice instead of water, the green color doesn’t change for days 🙂 Thanks Chanda di for the tip!
