They can be sweet, tangy or spicy. For instance, Coconut and Red Chilli Chutney can be served along with South Indian delicacies or Khajoor Imli ki Chutney which is used for making Chaat. However, one of the chutneys that I regularly make at home is Mint and Coriander Chutney.
Coriander Mint Chutney is a very popular chutney in India. Most people make it and all of them have a different way to prepare it. This chutney is my mom’s recipe and whoever has tasted it has claimed that this is the best chutney they have ever tasted.

To make this green chutney, coriander leaves, green chilies, mint leaves, lemon juice, ginger and garlic are put in a blender and made into a smooth paste. Easy right? :). The chutney can then be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator for upto 4 days.
