Green Chutney is something I use very often and is almost always there is my house and quite a lot of meals pics I have on this blog have that too… I have got many mails and comments on people asking me how I make my green chutney…

There are many ways one can go about making a green chutney and me myself making it atleast 3 different ways…. So here I will try and give to main variations

Green Chutney – 1

  • 1 Bunch of Mint leaves
  • 2 Bunches of coriander leaves
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2-3 green chillies (more if u want it spicy)
  • 1/2 tsp cummin seeds powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • Something for the tang now here u have the following options
    • 1-2 tsp anardana
    • 2 tsp dry mango powder
    • 1/2 small raw mango chopped
    • 3 tbsp curd
    • 2 tomatoes
    • juice of 1 lemon
  • salt to tastes

Method here is very simple, put everything in the grinder and using just enough water to mix grind them to a coarse paste.

The taste of the chutney totally varies along with the ingredient used to provide the tang… my personal favorite is raw mango and the one with anardana comes a second close… and N seems to love the one with curd followed by the one with raw mango. So try out all variations to see what suits your taste buds the best, but do keep in mind that when u use tomatoes or curd the shelf life of the chutney reduces a lot.

Sometime back I discovered another form of green chutney which at first totally amused me and I even refused to make it thinking it will be eeeks horrible because the mint and coriander in this were cooked before making the chutney…. but when one day I was indeed in a experimental mode and made this we were all in for a surprise… it was yummy beyond belief… there is a very different flavour to this one and we all loved it at home. So here it is…

Green Chutney 2

  • 1 bunch of mint
  • 2 big bunches of coriander
  • 7-8 curry leaves
  • 2 tsp cummin seeds
  • 7-8 garlic cloves
  • 4-5 green chillies
  • juice of 2 lemon
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tsp oil

Method

  • Dry roast the cummin seeds and garlic together
  • Heat oil in a pan and add the pre roasted cummin seeds and garlic
  • Add chopped onions. Fry till they start turning brown
  • Add green chillies
  • Add the coarsely chopped mint and coriander leaves.
  • Fry for 3-4 minutes
  • Add salt and lemon juice
  • Let it cool and then coarsely grind

So your green chutneys are ready to be served with whatever u want 😀

cheese, curd, Friday Feast, green chutney, peas, recipe, sandwich, veggies, whole wheat bread

I love sandwiches, the very fact that you can make a sandwich as healthy or as sinful as you want :D.. Also you can eat them at any time of the time.. breakfast, snacks, dinner… Isn’t that versatile.

I am eating a lot of sandwiches for breakfast these days however I find very less recipes that can suit my requirements these days viz no cheese, no butter, no potatoes but still tasty 🙂 A lot surfing, a little bit from this recipe, a lit bit from that and I have discovered my own set of such healthy and low cal sandwich recipes. Here are the two which are my favourite.

Avanti hopefully you can use them for your snacks too and Sols hope peanut likes them too.. Let me try and do some recipes that I make for Ojas next week :D, only point is that I will have to click pics

Green Peas and Roasted Tomato Sandwich

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of whole wheat/multigrain bread
  • 1 cup shelled and boiled peas
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 1 tomato
  • Green Chutney/ cheese spread
  • Grated cheese (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 flakes of garlic

Method

  • Mash the green peas coarsely by either a masher or in the mixer
  • Cut the onions and mix the masalas, green peas and onions together
  • Cut the tomatoes in round, place them on a microwave friendly plate and microwave on HIGH for abour 4 mins
  • Sprinkle the oregano and garlic flakes on top of the tomatoes
  • Put the microwave on convection/grill and roast for about 5 mins
  • Spread green chutney on one side of two slices, for kids or for those who like and can afford cheese use cheese spread 🙂
  • Put a layer of green peas stuffing on the bread and put 2-3 roasted tomatoes on the top, u can also top it with grated cheese if u want
  • Grill it or roast it on the tava
  • Repeat with the other two slices

PS: pls excuse the qaulity of the above pics… taken from N’s lousy cell camera 🙂

Its an absolutely yummilicious sandwich and very healthy because of the nutrients used.

Dahi Walla Sandwich

Ingredients

  • 4 whole wheat/multigrain bread slices
  • 1 cup curd
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1/2 cup grated cabbage
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • pinch of nutmeg/cinnamon powder

Method

  • Hang the curd in a muslin cloth for about half an hour so that the whey drains out

I really love this sandwich, I used to love mayo based sandwich but since I cant have it now I found this closer and healthier option. Personally I think that curd is the best way to have milk based products. Extremely healthy, maximum amount of calcium and great bacteria for the stomach..
