Easy coriander chutney

One of my favourite gluten-free and dairy-free Coriander Chutney. This Coriander chutney is the perfect partner for onion bhaji, pakoras, samosas, dosas, wraps and more.

This is actually my mother inlaws recipe (I did ask if I could post it). This recipe actually fooled me at first. It honestly looks like another dahi (plain yogurt, dairy-based) chutney. Boy was I wrong, one night I watched her make it I asked so we add the dahi in now? To her reply nope, It’s dairy-free.

I’ll keep the right up short and sweet for this dip so you can jump right in and learn how to make our chutney at home. This is actually a no-cook chutney which is nice because some chutneys require a lot of prep. The coriander chutney only takes about 10 minutes to make so not hard at all. You just need one boiled potato which might take some time but we always have a few in the fridge.

You will need a food processor or a blender for this recipe so make sure you have one of those on hand.

What do you eat with coriander chutney?

Think of this chutney as a healthy dip. it pairs well with anything that can be dunked like fries, chips, pakoras, onion baji. Also works well as a wrap and sandwich dip as well as not too well as a spread for sandwiches but we will post a spread version in the future.

How long does this chutney last?

With this recipe, your coriander chutney should last about a week if covered and stored in a fridge. After which its taste may start to change.
