About this recipe
Coriander chutney with the Thermomix TM7 is one of those recipes that proves why an all-in-one kitchen machine belongs in every home cook's cupboard. Fresh coriander is notoriously tricky to deal with by hand: washing it, drying it and chopping it finely enough for a smooth sauce takes patience, yet the TM7 turns a whole bunch into an aromatic paste in moments. Combined with onions, lemon juice, fresh chillies, sea salt and sugar, the herbs become a bright, tangy condiment that keeps for weeks in sterilised jars, making it a wonderful make-ahead recipe for meal prep or homemade gifts. The chutney pairs brilliantly with Indian curries, samosas, grilled cheese toasties and roasted vegetables, and a spoonful stirred through yogurt makes a quick dipping sauce for a weeknight dinner. If you have been searching for coriander chutney recipes that deliver restaurant-quality flavour without the fuss of a knife and chopping board, this Thermomix version delivers consistent results every single time.
Preparation tips
- Wash the fresh coriander thoroughly and pat it dry before adding it to the mixing bowl, as excess water can dilute the chutney and shorten its keeping quality in the jar.
- For the best preserving result, spoon the finished chutney into sterilised glass jars while still warm, seal tightly and store in a cool, dark cupboard for several weeks.
- Adjust the heat to suit your family by removing the seeds from the fresh chillies for a milder chutney, or adding an extra chilli if you love a proper fiery kick with your curry.
Recipe variations
- Mint and coriander version: replace half of the fresh coriander with fresh mint leaves for a cooler, sweeter chutney that pairs beautifully with lamb dishes and grilled paneer.
- Coconut coriander chutney: add desiccated coconut and a little water to the coriander, onion and chilli base for a South Indian style sauce, perfect alongside dosa or idli.
