A vibrant and zesty Indian condiment made with fresh cilantro, ripe tomatoes, and a kick of green chilies. This versatile, no-cook chutney is the perfect tangy accompaniment for samosas, chaat, or any Indian meal.
Prepare the ingredients. Wash the coriander leaves and their tender stems thoroughly under running water. Roughly chop the ripe tomatoes. Peel and roughly chop the ginger and garlic cloves.
In a blender jar, combine the washed coriander leaves, chopped tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, garlic, cumin seeds, lemon juice, salt, and optional sugar.
Blend the ingredients for 1-2 minutes until you achieve a smooth or slightly coarse paste, as per your preference. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water only if necessary to facilitate blending. Avoid adding too much water.
Once blended, taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning. You can add more salt for taste, lemon juice for tanginess, or another green chili for more heat if desired. Give it a final quick blend.
Transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight container. Serve immediately with your favorite snacks like samosas, pakoras, or sandwiches, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
