Fresh Cilantro Chutney (Dhanya Chatni)

From the Chef at Worldwide Recipes

 

1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup (60 ml) water

1/4 lb (125 g) fresh cilantro (coriander) stems and

leaves, thoroughly washed and coarsely chopped

(about 2 cups, 500 ml, tightly packed)

1/4 cup (60 ml) frozen or fresh grated coconut

(unsweetened)

1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped onions

2 Tbs (30 ml) finely chopped fresh ginger root

1/4 tsp (1 ml) cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 tsp (5 ml) sugar

1 tsp (5 ml) salt

 

Combine the lemon juice, water, and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the fresh cilantro in an

electric blender or food processor and blend at high speed until the mixture is

reduced to a puree. Scrape down the sides of the container and add another 1/2

cup (125 ml) of the coriander and puree. Repeat until all the coriander is

pureed. Add the remaining

ingredients and puree until it is perfectly smooth. Taste and adjust the salt

or sugar if necessary. Serve immediately. Will keep for about 1 week, tightly

covered and refrigerated. Makes about 2 cups (500 ml).

Thus saith Yhwh: Stand in the ways and see,

and ask for the old paths, where the

good way is, and walk in it; and find rest

for yourselves.

Chutni (Chutneys) of all kinds are condiments served with an Indian dinner. The

type often varies but they are often similar to what we call a pickle or a

relish. I happen to think they are more like a salsa in most cases. They add a

sweet to calm the palate after spicy dishes like a curry. Indian cuisine is

often about complimentary tastes. All indian meals are served with roti (often

used instead of cutlery) and the bread is dipped in the chutney as well.

 

Does that help?
