Sandwich Chutney is a quick green spread made with coriander, green chillies, chaat masala, lemon juice and basic seasonings. It is blended to a smooth consistency and has a zesty, herby taste. This chutney is commonly used for Mumbai style sandwiches. It is vegan, gluten-free and also works well as a dip.

  • Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coriander leaves (- tightly packed)
  • ½ teaspoon chaat masala powder (or add as required)
  • 1 to 2 green chillies ((hari mirch) or 1 teaspoon, chopped)
  • 2 to 3 drops lemon juice (- optional)
  • 1 or 2 teaspoon water (for grinding, optional)
  • salt (as required)

Method

  1. Firstly rinse the coriander leaves very well in water. You can place them in a colander or strainer and also rinse.
  2. Take the coriander leaves, chaat masala powder and chopped green chilies in a chutney grinder jar. I usually add 3 green chilies as we prefer a bit spicy chutney in the sandwiches.
  3. Grind the chutney ingredients till fine and smooth. No need to add water. But if you cannot grind, then add 1 or 2 teaspoons of water. I did not add water as there was enough moisture after rinsing the coriander leaves to help them grind to a smooth chutney.
  4. Remove the sandwich chutney in a bowl. Cover and keep the sandwich chutney aside if you are making sandwiches immediately or refrigerate in an air-tight container.
  5. Refrigerate in a covered air-tight container and consume within 1 to 2 days. Do not freeze as the flavor and texture changes.
