Its bright green color and tangy taste make it a popular choice for adding a pop of color and flavor to various dishes.
**The article features two variations of this classic chutney:**

CORIANDER MINT CHUTNEY
This is a delicious, fresh-tasting chutney from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking. I love it! I generally serve it with any Indian meal I make, but I think it's equally delicious served along-side a grilled steak or chicken. I'll have to try it with my Wedding Chicken or with steak fajitas. Bet it would be great as a marinade for grilled shrimp too. Ok - you get that I think it's delicious.
