Notes

Fresh herbs - Best to make sandwich chutney as soon as you get the fresh herbs, as it makes for the best tasting chutney.
Measuring herbs - I use both the leaves and stems of the coriander leaves, with only the root cut off, and I roughly chop them, before measuring them out. With mint, I only use the leaves, and use as much of them, as I need for the recipe.
Ratio of herbs - I have used 50:50 in this recipe, but you can adjust the proportion of the herbs based on your preference.
Substitutions - I love to flavor my sandwich chutney with peanuts, because I love that nutty flavor. But you can even add garlic or coconut. I skip garlic for this particular chutney, because I like to be able to have sandwiches on fasting days when I don't eat onion or garlic. And I prefer to not add coconut, because I usually make a big batch of this particular chutney, and with coconut it will not preserve that well for a longer period. If you love the flavor of coconut, and are making a small batch, you can always add it in.
