Spicy Hari (Green) Chutney

Spicy Hari (Green) Chutney is a chutney most South Asians or those of South Asian descent are very familiar with. It can be eaten with most dishes whether they are rice- or roti-based. It's the same chutney you can put into yoghurt with a bit of water to make raita. It actually contains some nice herbs for the liver, lymph, and immune system: garlic, lime/lemon, cilantro, cumin, and chillies!

You can alter the spice levels and the viscosity of the chutney according to taste. Here's how I make mine:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cilantro
• 4 Thai or Pakistani or Indian chillies (fresh, small green ones) – use 1 if you don't do well with spice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/4 lime or lemon squeeze (i.e., the juice)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup water (approximately – enough to get the blender running!)
• Optional: 1/4 cup fresh mint

Instructions:

Blend everything together and enjoy!
