The green sauce served with samosa is called Hari chutney(Pudina Chutney if mint is used along with cilantro ,Dhaniya chutney if only cilantro is used)
It's two parts cilantro and one part mint along with onion (half of the onion available here in USA) with green pepper according to taste,One garlic clove,salt to taste!.For sourness you can add either lemon juice or tamarind paste!.
You can even buy ready made chutney from any Indian/Asian store!.

It's Coriander Chutney!. Sometimes it is made with a combination of mint and cilantro!. It isn't all that easy to make at home, I've found, as it is hard to get it perfectly smooth, even in the blender or food processor!. You can buy it at Indian food stores or in the foreign section of some big supermarkets!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
I thought it was mint chutney (it usually has a combination of mint, cilantro, parsley) they sell it at Indian food stores, along with a variety of other chutneys and saucesWww@FoodAQ@Com
could it be wasabi!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
