Nagpuri Green Chutney

Nagpur-style fresh coriander-garlic chutney — large bunches of fresh coriander blended with raw garlic, green chilli, fresh ginger, lime juice, salt, and a small amount of roasted peanuts into a thick, intensely aromatic green paste. The Nagpur version is notably more garlicky and more fiery than chutney from other Maharashtra regions; this reflects the city's general preference for bold, direct flavour. No coconut in the Nagpuri chutney (unlike the coastal Maharashtra version); the peanut provides the body and prevents the chutney from becoming too watery. Applied generously on vada pav, bhajis, sandwiches, and bhakri; also eaten as a condiment alongside all the dry preparations (zunka, thikli, chakuli). The Nagpur green chutney's strong garlic note is the condiment signature of the city's street food culture.
