Coriander chutney

Using a little oil and sugar keeps the color fresh.
While cleaning cilantro (hara dhania) chop off just the thick stems.
You can make hari chutney in large quantity in advance and freeze it in ice cube trays.
Store the frozen cubes in a zip-lock plastic bag. When ready to serve, defrost as many cubes of hari chutney as needed.
If you freeze the hari chutney soon after preparing, the chutney will not lose its bright green color and freshness.
You can substitute coriander with mint leaves to make mint chutney
