Blender: Cilantro Green Apple Chutney
Green Apple Chutney Recipe - Indian As Apple Pie

MAY I CONFESS? I'M BORED WITH GREEN CHUTNEY.

I know! I know! Blasphemy. But, I've been making and eating mint-cilantro chutney for so many years that it's become a bit mundane. 

Until this. Add. Green. Apple. 

And, I have to say, I fell back in love with green chutney. The apples in this recipe just give you the perfect amount of sweet combined with tartness that will layer well on a spoonful of basmati rice, as a side to a samosa, or as an accompaniment to a biryani. I often make raita (spiced yogurt) for my girls and add a teaspoon of chutney into each bowl. 

For Indians who don't eat leafy salads with traditional meals, chutneys like this add an essential raw green food component to every meal. 

If you love to grill, this recipe will become a favorite side to any protein fresh off the flames from chicken to beef, pork, lamb, and even tofu. Make up a batch as I do, store it in a mason jar in the fridge for up to a week, or even freeze for up to three months, and enjoy a little burst of Indian freshness. 

Enjoy! xoxo Anupy

Blender: Cilantro Green Apple Chutney

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, cleaned and trimmed
  • 1 small green apple, cored and quartered (keep the skin)
  • ½ - 1 fresh Thai, serrano, or cayenne chile, stem removed and chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon red chile powder or cayenne

Instructions

  1. Blend it all down in your high powered blender or Vitamix. If you have trouble getting the ingredients smooth, just add water 2 tablespoons at a time. I have to say Vitamix is amazing for making chutney - no water needed as long as you push the product into the blades using the tamper. And, the chutney comes out smooth and vibrantly green. The lemon juice helps prevent this chutney from turning color once stored.

OK – this is absolutely fabulous!! We use a lot of green chutney, and put it on everything from traditional Indian to peanut butter sandwiches. I love the addition of the green apple – it does make a delicious addition. I made a batch, then split it and added fresh mint to one half. Both were perfect.
