Hari Chutney - Cilantro Chutney
February 4th, 2007 filed under Chutneys / Pickles, VeganHari (Green) chutney is made with fresh cilantro (green coriander) and a variety of spices. This chutney is a must-have for every fridge. Tastes delicious with pakoras, samosas, chaat and many more popular Indian snacks. Like ketchup and other popular condiments, hari chutney can be used in a variety of different ways!
Ingredients:
- 1 big bunch of chopped Cilantro (green coriander)
- 3 green chopped chilies
- 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1/2 inch ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Pinch of asafetida (hing)
Method
Blend all ingredients, except the cilantro, into a paste. Add the cilantro, a little at a time, and blend. If needed, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. The water will help in blending. Blend well and add more salt, green chilies, or lemon juice to taste.
Tips
You can make hari chutney in large quantities in advance and freeze it in ice cube trays. When ready to serve, defrost as many cubes of hari chutney as needed. If you freeze the hari chutney immediately after preparing, the chutney will not lose its bright green color and freshness.
Serving Suggestions
- To make a delicious dip for fresh vegetables, chips, or crackers, mix 1 part chutney and 3 parts yogurt.
- To make a sandwich spread, mix 1 part chutney and 2 parts cream cheese.
- To make a salad dressing, mix 1 tablespoon chutney with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon sugar.

I accidentally put a little bit more than a pinch of acefoetida and it came out too salty. (it was my frist time using it.) When Manjula says a pinch she means a pinch!

Hello Manjula Aunty,
Thank you so much for this recipe. I just made it today and it was the best taste ever that I have had.
You remind me of my Mom ( her name is Manju
) and I feel like I am seeing my mom making/teaching me recipes.
I am so glad I found your website and videos. They all seem so simple to try and you are so calm and so poised in your videos.
Thank You once again..You are doing a fabulous job!!!!!!

Thank you for the great suggestion about the ice cube tray! I had no idea this chutney could be frozen, and since I like it but my husband doesn’t, I was wasting too much of it. Great idea.

Many thanks for the serving suggestions! Cilantro chutney is my favorite kind, but I had never thought of making a dip, sandwich spread, or salad dressing with it!
