make green chutney (hari) for chaats sandwiches

In a snacky chaat world the lovely main characters(ingredients I mean)are sweet/tamarind chutney and the other is the green/hari chutney!the part played by the green chutney is spiciness and tamarind for its tangy sweetness!both are inevitable ones and that’s the reason why chaat foods are finger licking good and addictive.Taking about the coriander leaves!of course we know their fragrance and benefits are distinctive and well appreciated!I was surprised when I learnt that the roots of the leaves contains more flavour than the leaves and it plays a remarkable role in Thai cuisine used in most of the recipes in their cooking.I think I can also try adding these roots hereafter in some of the day-to-day dishes I make and enjoy the difference.Coming to the green chutney recipe You can add onions to this while grinding but it will have shelf life only for one or two days ,it is added mainly to enhance flavour and give body to chutney, but I have not added if you wish to add you can very well add it.
