A childhood favourite. Love the recipe, especially the addition of peanuts to the green chutney - genius!

Thank you Ankita. Peanuts do take the chutney to another level. I have to thank my Gujarati aunties for that tip.

I forgot to add. Some aunties used fresh coconut as a homogenizing agent in the cilantro chutney, some used split, roasted chana dal and some used peanuts, which, IMO, gave the best results.

Have to try this soon! I’ve used soaked cashews which worked well for me, but I suspect peanuts give a nuttier flavour.

Yes, they do provide a nutty flavor which manages to subdue the cilantro’s grassiness

Love your writing style :). One suggestion: is it possible to have a button that says "jump to recipe" or "get recipe" and it pops up ready to print?
