Going back to basics today, everyone NEEDS to have a good batch of green chutney in their fridge and life. It’s a staple Indian condiment in my opinion; I consider it the Indian ketchup lol. My grandmother created this recipe and always had it in the house. One batch stays fresh for months because of the way she made it. It is so versatile, I use it in grilled cheese, frankies, kathi rolls, and samosas…the options are endless!
This recipe makes a LOT of chutney, but the excess can be placed in the freezer and you can defrost it as you need it. By adding the turmeric, the color of the chutney will stay the same as the day you made it. I hope you all will enjoy this chutney with anything and everything you make!
Stay happy, stay hungry!
