Indians love chaats(street side food ), and almost every chaat needs this green chutney.
It is added in chaat varieties, used as a spread for sandwich, enjoyed with parathas, dhoklas, samosas, cutlets and eaten with rotis (flatbreads ) too.
This is an extremely versatile condiment and allows you to do whatever you want with it. I use it for marinades too, even serve as dip with chips and crackers , almost every house has a bowl of this ready in their fridge .
