Mariel here. When I’m out on the eastern end of Long Island, one of my favorite lunch spots is the Hampton Chutney Co., which dishes up delicious mile-long dosas packed with classic Indian treats like Potato Masala, as well as new-world hybrids such as Cilantro-Chutney Tuna. So when I was presented with the opportunity to whip up a similar sounding chutney for this month’s Secret Recipe Club – because lets be honest, it’s all about the condiments – I couldn’t resist…even if I was momentarily tempted by Simply Sensational Food’s Pineapple Ice Cream and these Phyllo Triangles with Cheesy Potatoes.
While blog-host Nayna describes her Green Coriander Chutney as a “must in any Indian kitchen,” I had a stack of beef empanadas in my fridge and decided to slather them with this instead of a more traditional chimichurri. I dialed down the heat by swapping one jalapeno for 15 (FIFTEEN!) chilis, but the result was absolutely spectacular and the sweet and sour tang was the perfect partner to the flaky dough and rich filling. I may not be Indian, but I suspect this chutney will become a “must” in my own kitchen.

This chutney sounds so delicious. I like mango chutney but cilantro mango chutney sounds so much better! Great SRC post
Ohhh, I like it! So exotic and mango is my all-time favorite fruit! Sometime try mixing mango & fresh pineapple chunks with some chopped cilantro for a fruit salad. Delish!
I adore a great chutney – love the flavor profile!

Yum – this would be delicious with so many foods (and I CANNOT imagine having 15 chilis in this recipe – I’m quite good with your one jalapeno 🙂
