Green Chutney

Chutneys are a spicy condiment used in Indian cuisine to accompany curries and breads. Its also good for dipping snacks and finger foods. They’re made with a variety of fruits, herbs, spices, and chiles, depending on the geographical region. When I make green chutney it’s a favorite for scooping with fresh naan. I make it a lot in the summertime when my herbs are abundant in the garden. I keep a container of ginger and garlic paste in my freezer to save time when I have an urgent need for green chutney to spread on a tomato sandwich.
