How Do You Store Green Chutney For A Long Time?

As you may know, fresh produce doesn't have the best track record of staying fresh for a long time. Since this is made of fresh ingredients, you may be wondering how you can keep this yummy Green Chutney fresh.

My suggestion? Use whatever you need when you make it and throw the rest in the freezer. You can use a food saver, a freezer bag, or my favorite -- Souper Cubes.

Tips And Tricks For Making Indian Chutney

1. Traditionally, this Indian green sauce is made with fresh, shredded coconut. But since that can be hard to find, I used dried, shredded coconut.
2. All of the spice in this recipe comes from the green chili, so adjust that to your taste.
3. Note the texture below. You want it smooth but with a little texture left to it so it doesn't feel like you're eating baby food.
4. Coriander in India means cilantro and it's used to refer to both the seeds as well as the leaves.
