INSTRUCTIONS
Cilantro - Burnt rubber? I have always thought that the smell resembled
vinyl, like a cheap rain poncho. Nonetheless, I like it and for those of
you interested in Indian foods I'm posting here a chutney (Indian
definition - more like a salsa than what occidental's call chutney) that is
based on chutney - The stuff is very cilantro-sweet-hot. With Indian food,
rice, chile-pickles... is excellent.
Toss it in processor and grind away - stop short of making a paste - taste,
adjust chiles, sugar... to taste - leave some texture.
Some substitutions - In a pinch I've substituted frozen limeade concentrate
straight out of the can for the lime juice and some of the sugar.
The stuff keeps pretty well in the coolerator, the color deteriorates with
time from bright green to camouflage. Eventually, in about two weeks, some
blue and pink fuzz will grow on the top - at this point it is gone. Posted
