Coriander n Mint Chutney ( Cilantro n Mint Dip/Spread)

Coriander, commonly known as Dhania in India, or Cilantro in the Americas and Europe, is a herb which is extensively used around the world as a condiment or as a garnish or as a decoration on the dishes.
This is one dish made from Coriander or Cilantro that can be used as A Chutney, A Spread and A Dip.

• A healthy Chutney that can be used with all North Indian and Tandoori starters.
• A spread that can be used to make sandwiches.
• A dip that can be used with all kinds of fritters.
• A good accompaniment with cutlets and some types of pancakes.

I learnt this from my Mom. If you make this without adding water but only with lemon juice, it can be stored in the fridge in an air tight jar for 5 days.
