If you like cilantro, don't let this one get by you. It's absolutely perfect, refreshing cilantro chutney. Don't save it just for Indian food. It would be great with Mexican/Southwestern, bean dishes, or rich cheese dishes that could use a fresh/acid note for balance. Try it with a grilled cheese sandwich! Thanks so much!

Love this chutney. It's so quick to make and absolutely packed with flavour. I made it with two bunches of coriander, using both leaves and stems, and half of a red onion, which is what I had on hand. It goes so well with much more than just Indian food. So far the two of us have enjoyed it on salmon steaks, prawns, porterhouse steaks, baked potatoes, cheese snacks, and a duck and mango salad. Thanks so much for posting.
