This simple recipe will teach you how to make two different kinds of Mint Coriander Chutneys (धनिये पुदीने के चटनियाँ) with the same chutney base i.e. the pure Mint Coriander Chutney & the Restaurant Style Curd Mint Coriander Chutney. Both of them are also called the Hari Chutney.
Mint Coriander Chutney, also known as the Hari Chutney, is the most versatile Indian condiment. It is used as a condiment with almost every grilled and fried Indian snack. The pure mint coriander chutney is used as a spread with sandwiches like the club sandwich, grilled sandwich and also with the famous disco sandwich. It is also used as a dip with samosas, pakodas & a lot of other fried snacks. Not to mention that it is a major part of Sindhi Dal Pakwan & the famous Aloo Tikki Chole.
The Curd Mint Coriander Chutney aka Dahi Wali Hari Chutney (दही वाली हरी चटनी) is served at almost all the Indian Restaurants. It is served with tandoori chicken, Fish Fry, Chicken Tikka, Paneer Tikka & the list can go on. Both these chutneys are extremely easy to make.
