It is Dhania (dhaniya) Chutney!. The Cilantro (or corriander as they say in India) leaves are similar to parsley leaves, but lighter green, more fragile and more aromatic!. You can find them in Indian, Mexican (used for salsa) and even in Chinese grocery stores!. To make the Chutney, puree together a bunch of fresh cilantro leaves (wash well and cut off any hard stems, keep the soft ones), 1-2 cloves of peeled garlic, and 1 green chilli or de-seeded jalopeno (for spice to taste) till smooth!. To the puree, add salt and the juice of half a lemon (about 1 tsp)!. Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed!. This is the simplest, and there are many variations to this recipe!.
How else can you use it!? Use it as a spread for your Sandwiches or on Pita Bread!. Make a Dip - just add a cup of plain yogurt or sour cream and mix well!. You have a pretty light green Dip for your salad greens or crackers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
