How to Make Afghani Cilantro Chutney

  1. Combine 2 cups packed fresh cilantro leaves, 1/2 cup finely chopped green chilies (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic paste, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder in a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Transfer the chutney to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The chutney will be somewhat watery; this is normal and adds to its unique character.
