Chatni Gashneez (Coriander Chutney)


The chutney that accompanies kebabs in Afghanistan has no relation to the sweet and savory, fruit-studded preserves with which most of us are familiar. The Afghan version chutney  is a thin, herbaceous, acidic sauce.  


Serves: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of Roughly chopped coriander
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 1 Green chili
  • 1/2 cup of Coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice or vinegar
  • Salt


Directions

  1. Pack chopped coriander (leaves) firmly into cup to measure. Peel garlic and chop roughly; slit chili, remove seeds and chop roughly.
  2. Place prepared ingredients and walnuts in blender or food processor container and process until a textured paste is achieved, adding lemon juice or vinegar gradually while processing. Add salt to taste, place ina bowl and chill until required. Serve with kabaubs.
