I have shared a coriander chutney recipe in every cookbook that I’ve written. This clearly illustrates how big a fan I am of this simple yet powerful little chutney and also that there are many different ways of making it. Here, the peanuts add warmth to this very refreshing mix of herbs and lemon. I have a small bowl of this chutney in the refrigerator at all times, and you will be surprised how amazingly well it goes with absolutely anything you are eating.
