Hari Cilantro Chutney
Hari chutney is a blend of fresh cilantro (green coriander) and variety of spices. Hari chutney is a “must” with pakoras, samosas, chaats, and many popular Indian snacks. Like ketchup and other popular condiments, hari chutney can be used in a variety of different ways!
- 1 large bunch of cilantro. will be about cups
- 3 green chilies chopped about 2 tbsp
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 inch ginger
- 1-1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp asafetida (hing)
Blend all ingredients, except the cilantro, into a paste. Add cilantro, a little at a time, and blend until smooth. Add water as needed.
- Taste and adjust salt, green chilies, or lemon juice as desired.
Tips:
Using a little oil and sugar keeps the color fresh.
While cleaning cilantro (hara dhania) chop off just the thick stems.
You can make hari chutney in large quantity in advance and freeze it in ice cube trays. Store the frozen cubes in a zip-lock plastic bag. When ready to serve, defrost as many cubes of hari chutney as needed. If you freeze the hari chutney soon after preparing, the chutney will not lose its bright green color and freshness.
Variations:
Mix mint leaves (without stems) with cilantro half and half.
Serving Suggestions:
To make a delicious dip for vegetables, chips, or crackers, mix one part chutney and three parts yogurt.
To make a sandwich spread, mix 1 part chutney and 2 parts cream cheese.

I have watched you making the Cilantro chutney and it is amazing how the chutney is made without any form of cooking. However, I will positively make it along with your Tamarind Chutney in order to have the Idli Chaat. Please could you tell me the brand of the mixer grinder you used to make the cilantro chutney, looks very sturdy and great grinder. Appreciate it if you will share the name/brand of this mixer grinder unit.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Thank you.

October 28, 2011 at 7:43 pmHi Manjula
I’ve made this chutney three times. The first batch was amazing but the second & third were quite bitter. I know it was the cilantro because I tasted a leaf and it was bitter. Are there different types of cilantro? I got mine from an asian market in the fall. Should I cut the stems off and use only the leafs? Maybe it was not ‘ripe’ (picked too young or too old)? I would really love to make it again. Is there anything I can add to lessen the bitter taste? If you have any advice, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks. Fantastic site by the way!
Manjula Jain

October 11, 2011 at 1:06 pmI love this chutney recipe. I prepared it first time when I made your recipe for grilled tofu sandwich. Since, I have completely changed the way I’m making sandwiches.

you and your blog are a gift from Heaven! We livei n Italy where exotic food is scarce. I have stocked my pantry with all sorts of spices I get the Himalaya store catering to a larg community of Bangladeshi, but always found hard to figure out recipes for dishes that I never tasted originally. Now with your simple videos and recipe’s instructions we ca cook your lovely authentic food dishes! Already we have made Chola Tikki (twice the first time they fell apart while cooking – potatoes not cold) and the tamarind Chutney I absolutely adore! Tonight we try Dal Makhani! One question, do you use dry curry leaves the same as the fresh (can’t get them fresh)? Thank you – a fan!

I’ve tried a few of your recipes now and they always turn out great, thanks in no small part to the informal and relaxed way you describe the process! Just tried this chutney recipe even though I’m not a huge fan of coriander and it’s great, quite refreshing! I though it was a little too “coriandery” for me though, so I added a teaspoon of ginger powder and half a teaspoon of Sumac and that helped smooth to coriander top note out a little, so if anyone reads this, you might want to try that for a slightly different taste.

November 4, 2009 at 2:44 pmWhat is hing?
Jaya
November 4, 2009 at 5:24 pmAsafetida is a gum resin from a tree. In cooking, it gives a tang that you would otherwise get if you used onion and garlic.
If you don’t have hing/asafetida, just omit it. IMO it’s not a critical ingredient. Further if you put in to much it ruins the taste of the dish.
Shri
November 3, 2009 at 2:09 amI tried this recipe of hari chutney. It was awesome, perfect to the dot. I used a handful of mint leaves too.
Each time I asked some of my North Indian friends for the hari chutney recipe all they would say is use Cilantro, Mint and Green chilli, but I never got the right taste nor color. Your recipe is very good. Thank you!!!

Hari chutney changes the color and taste if you refrigerate for more then 3 to 4 days, I like to freeze it in ice cube trays that is the best way I have found to store.
Mohammed Al-Amer
August 29, 2009 at 11:46 pmhello Manjula, I just noticed that a lot of Indian cuisine require asafetida (hing), I just want to know why do you use it for, what does it do in food or cooking, and can I omit it, and If I do, does it affect the taste of the food. thanks. Greetings from Saudi Arabia, Mohammed.
Pankaj
November 1, 2009 at 11:16 amHello Mohammed,
asafetida(Hing) is used since it gives a nice smell to your food.Many people do not like its smell in normal condition but when it is processed with other materials, it gives very nice smell to the food.For example, next time when you cook any dry green vegetable, just take one or two pinch of hing and make it powder(if not already) and put it in oil which we use for chaunk(Bagar) along with cumin seeds.
Indian food processing is based on keeping health in mind. Hing is a medecine and helps in diagestion of food properly. So tase and health are two reasons for using it.

1. Chilly powder: Conatins good amount of Iron, Vitamin A,C,B and E.
2. Termeric powder: Anticeptic, Blood purifier
3. Corriander seeds powder: Chilly and termeric creates heat, so corriander is opposite.It is cold oriented.Contains Vitamins A,B and C.
4. Salt: Contains Iodin and watery in nature.
5. Hing: Helps in digestion of food
6. Cumin seeds: hign in protein(alomst 17% per 100 grams).Also it is cold in nature.

April 16, 2009 at 7:42 pmHi Manjula Aunty,
What brand of mixer/blender you use while grinding coriander/mint for making chutney especially hara chutney? Because while I make hara chutney at home, it doesn’t come out at right consistency. I want to buy a mixer/blender to grind coriander/mint for making chutney at home . I have a coffee grinder but I can’t grind coriander/mint leaves with water in it……………as I can’t use water while grinding in coffee grinder(the manual says so). So, plz plz help me. I am waiting for your suggestions.
Thanks

April 6, 2009 at 11:24 amDear Manjula Aunty, I got married three years ago and came to the U.K. after the wedding. I started cooking only after I got married and my my husband taught me 🙂
I basically only knew how to make channa dal for two years. I connect the laptop in the kitchen and have recently tried out some of your recepies like ginger asparagus and today we made chaat. My husband loved it. Thank you ever so much.

Your recepies are wonderful. I tried out of a few of them, they turned out very well. You give exact details and the measurements, think you do lot of homework for them. When ever I get tiered of my recepies I turn on to your amazing website. Its like the Indian Food Network for me. Thank you and keep up the great work.

The hari chutney turned out delicious and so did the aloo-gobhi. It is so helpful to know so many good recipes which does not use onion-garlic. I often have to make food for Bhog and these recipes fall perfectly in that category.Thank you so much for sharing your recipes.
Warm regards,
Isha.
