About

This basic Indian-style chutney can be made either raw or cooked, and I include both versions here. Either way, it makes a great dipping sauce for serving with grilled lamb cutlets, crispy spicy samosas or simply with poppadoms.

Ingredients

For the Raw Chutney

100 g coriander, stalks included
2 hot green chillies, chopped
2.5 c

Method

For the Raw Chutney

Put all the ingredients except for the coconut milk or yoghurt in a blender and blitz to a coarse purée.
Add the coconut milk or yoghurt and blitz again until smooth, then transfer to a jar or covered bowl and refrigerate. The raw chutney will keep in the fridge for 2–3 days.
