Notes
Tips for Best Results
Use fresh herbs: The brighter and fresher the herbs, the better the chutney.
Don’t add too much water: Add water gradually. The chutney should be smooth but not runny.
Adjust sweetness and salt: Taste and tweak before storing.
For heat: Add 1-2 green chilies while blending if you prefer a spicy kick.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. A thin layer of oil on top can help preserve color and freshness.
