Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises. ~ Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Green Chutney – definitely a prime ingredient in an Indian pantry. Used with all chaat preparations, as a side to samosa, pakodas and bajjis and their cousins, and gives a good spicy kick when incorporated into a sandwich!
