green chutney

Indian cilantro sauce

Green chutney is a fresh, bright condiment in South Asian cuisine made primarily from cilantro, mint, green chilies, and often lime or lemon juice.

It accompanies samosas, pakoras, kebabs, and countless other dishes, providing a cool, herbaceous counterpoint to fried or spiced foods: The samosas came with tamarind and green chutney on the side.

Also called cilantro chutney or mint chutney, though proportions vary by household and region.
