Cilantro Chutney (Coriander Sambal)

Cilantro Chutney (Coriander Sambal)

SemiSerious Chefs
Indian cuisine is well known for its inclusion of chutney at nearly every meal. In Sri Lanka and Malaysia similarly flavored condiments go by the name sambal. I highly suggest pairing this chutney/sambal with Green Gram Pesarattu (Moong Dal Dosa).
