Green chutney recipe for sandwiches, chaat and snacks. Recipe of green chutney was requested by few readers so sharing it. I have already shared this recipe on many snacks recipes to accompany them. Now since I am mentioning this most often in other recipes, thought of making this separate post. Green chutney is one of the healthiest addition and is used often in Indian cuisine as a side with snacks, sandwiches and also to make chaats. This chutney aids in good digestions and enhances the taste, aroma and nutrition of any dish .
I usually make this when I plan to make wraps / kathi rolls, sandwiches, Indian style burgers or snacks. I store it in a glass jar, refrigerate and use up in the next 2 days. But I have seen a few of my friends freezing them in the Ice tray for about a month and using whenever needed. But nothing beats the aroma of the freshly ground mint, coriander, garlic, ginger and cumin which go into making of this flavorful chutney.
I made this green chutney sometime ago when I made the bombay veg sandwich for a weekend snack and the kathi rolls for dinner.
To make the best green chutney full of flavors, make sure you use fresh pudina and daniya/ coriander leaves.

Green chutney recipe for sandwich, chaat and snacks
Green chutney is a blend made of green chilies, cumin, coriander and mint leaves. It is served with Indian snacks, sandwiches and chaats. It enhances the taste of the foods and also helps in digestion.
Ingredients (240 ml cup used)
- 2 cups coriander leaves or daniya patta
- 1 cup mint or pudina
- 1½ to 2 tbsp fried gram or dalia or roasted peanuts or fresh coconut
- 1 tsp cumin or jeera
- 4 green chilies (adjust as needed)
- 2 garlic cloves or lahsun
- ¼ to ½ inch ginger or adrak
- 1 to 1 ½ tbsp Lemon juice or as needed
- Salt as needed
How to make the recipe
Pluck mint and coriander leaves. You can keep the tender stalks of coriander.
- Rinse them well in lot of water a few times. I spray some vinegar and leave for about 10 minutes. Then rinse well. Drain them well in a colander.
- Add all the ingredients to a blender jar. Make a thick paste by adding 1 tbsp water at one time and blending until smooth.
- Adjust salt, lemon juice and green chili to suit your taste.
- Store this in a clean dry airtight glass jar. Refrigerate and use whenever needed. Use dry spoons to serve it. This green chutney keeps good for about a week in refrigerator and 1 month in freezer.

How long can does it stays good in refrigerator?and if stores in freezer can we use it after thawing ( I guess keeping outside for a while thaws)

Hi Poornima
You can keep for 1 week in the refrigerator and 1 month in the freezer. Yes you can use it after thawing at room temperature.

Thank you very much for sharing your recipe of different chutney. I enjoy my tosai with coconut chutney and tomato chutney served in the Indian eatery here in Malaysia, but have had very little clue what go into it. I would like to try green chutney as well, but I am allergic to mint. Will it be fine if I substitute mint with coriander, or another fresh herb?
swasthi says
Welcome Katharine
Mint is the main ingredient of this green chutney. This recipe may not work with a substitute. I have a coriander coconut chutney which tastes good. If you do not have coconut then do check this collection of chutney recipes, you may find other options. Hope this helps
Kat says
I substituted coriander for the mint and made it with a mix of dalia and peanuts (no coconut) and it tasted perfect – just like the green chutney at a North Indian restaurant. Wonderful with samosas and other North Indian snacks. The coriander coconut chutney recipe is more for South Indian dishes and snacks like dosa and idly.
