Spicy Coriander Chutney

Description
Slightly tangy and generous in its heat!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh coriander leaves/ cilantro
  • a marble size piece tamarind or tamarind paste as per taste
  • rock salt - about 1/2 tsp or salt to taste
  • 2 to 3 green chillies -
Instructions
  1. Wash the coriander leaves thoroughly. Spread them on a clean, dry kitchen towel pat dry well to remove as much of the moisture as possible. Retain the leaves and tender stems. Discard the hard thick stems.
  2. Grind all the ingredients together to coarse paste without adding water.

Note
The quantity of chillies depends on the level of spiciness of the chillies and how spicy you want the chutney to be. Be a little generous when adding the chillies to get the right balance.
You can add a tablespoon of roasted peanuts when grinding for a different flavor.
You can even add 1 teaspoon (not more) fresh mint leaves.
