Green Chutney

Every family has its own way of making green chutney. They are usually served with bar-be-qued and fried kebabs and cutlets. Green chutney or suace is made commercially and sold in the market and quite commonly available. Chutney is also served with rice and dal, or various kind of rice dishes and even rotis and parathas. During summer before the advent of ripe mangoes, raw mangoes are there and I make it with them. This particular recipe will have raw mangoes. If raw mangoes are not available, tamarind sauce or lemon juice maybe used. Stays well if refrigerated for 5-6 days.
