Instructions
- Wash the coriander leaves thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Spread the washed leaves on a clean, dry kitchen towel and pat them dry to remove as much moisture as possible.

- In a blender, combine the coriander leaves, tamarind, rock salt, and green chillies.
- Blend the mixture until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or tamarind if needed.
- Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Adjust the number of green chillies to control the heat level. Use fresh coriander for the best flavor. This chutney pairs well with rice, pakoras, and can be mixed into stir fry for added heat.
