This cilantro and herb chutney was created from an overabundance of garden herbs. It’s fresh, vibrant, and delicious over everything!

It came about one day when I was picking herbs from my garden and decided to recreate favorite chutney I had at one of my favorite indian restaurants. It’s easy, quick and very flavorful and I love it! For instance, it’s highly forgiving (as you can tell by the measurements ~ a handful of this, a handful of that). In addition, it pares well with both indian dishes, or anything you have on hand that deserves a little kick (like toasted Ezekiel Bread with hummus). What’s not to love about such an easy, versatile, flavorful recipe?

You can make it up in a mortar and pestle, but I found it easiest in a small blender. A high speed blender will do as well, as long as you have a tamper to push down the ingredients. The basins of a Vitamix or Blendtec tend to be big, so opt for the smallest blender (or food processor) you have. I used a Tribest blender like this one.

How To Pair Cilantro And Herb Chutney

  1. I love this chutney as a dressing over salad sometimes (you can also thin it out with a bit of oil and extra water)
  2. Drizzle over hummus
  3. Use it on a crudites platter as a dip
  4. Add a dollop to soup or stews to add extra flavor
  5. Drizzle it over eggs cooked alongside tomatoes in indian spices
  6. Serve it over baked chicken or protein of choice
  7. It’s perfect for Indian red lentil dahl
  8. Honestly, it goes with everything.
  9. In other words, it’s the perfect side kick to a movie, basically.
