This chutney is inspired by the traditional Indian condiment of the same name. Chutneys are typically made with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and spices, and can range in flavor from sweet to spicy. This particular chutney is on the spicier side, with a bright and herbaceous flavor that comes from the cilantro, mint, and parsley. The serrano pepper adds a bit of heat, while the cumin and coriander add depth and complexity. This chutney is perfect for adding a pop of flavor to grilled meats, fish, or vegetables, or can be used as a dipping sauce for samosas or pakoras.
