Technically, the leaves are the cilantro and the seeds are the coriander, but this seems to mean one and the same these days. A usual snack for tiffin when I was in school used to be green chutney sandwiches. Sometimes there were **[mint chutney cheese sandwiches](https://www.cookingandme.com/2011/03/green-mint-chutney-cheese-sandwiches.html)** but most of the time, it used to be a simple coriander chutney slathered on some buttered bread. I absolutely loved the flavour and looked forward to break times when I had green chutney sandwiches in my tiffin box, waiting.  [![](http://bp2.blogger.com/_edeaUoTCYOA/RiwmBj9uN0I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/LOROy3CLYwI/s400/cookingandme1.jpg)](http://bp2.blogger.com/_edeaUoTCYOA/RiwmBj9uN0I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/LOROy3CLYwI/s1600-h/cookingandme1.jpg) Getting fresh coriander leaves is very easy in Hyderabad since a lot of these farmer vegetable trucks park outside our apartments on weekends where most of the households buy their fresh vegetables from. They are especially generous with greens and for 5 rupees, I get a thick bunch of fresh coriander that I generously add to all my cooking and still have lots leftover. This coriander chutney comes in very handy then and serves as a good breakfast or snack slathered on some bread or toast.

Raw cumin seeds or powder work just as well too Coriander Chutney Recipe ** ** **Ingredients:** Freshly grated coconut : 1 cup Chopped coriander leaves : 1 cup Green chillies : 3 Lemon juice : 1 teaspoon Sugar : 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds or powder : 1/2 teaspoon Salt : to taste **Instructions:** Put all ingredients in a small blender.
