This chutney is so versatile that it can be served as a dip with snacks, as a sandwich spread or a side dish with your meal.
Normally we make chutney with raw chopped amla pieces ground with coriander, mint, chili and spices. The texture of this chutney with raw amla is very fluffy kind of thickness. The taste also remain slight bitter. Last week I tried making this chutney differently and loved the improved taste and texture.

Let them cool down completely. Now add the chopped coriander, mint, green chilies and spices . Add some water and grind to make into a fine paste. Delicious amla chutney is ready to serve.
