Butter Chicken

Green chutney is an Indian condiment made with either mint and cilantro or both. Coconut, yogurt, and nuts are often added to thicken the chutney.

The green chutney is also known as mint chutney if cilantro is replaced with mint. Similarly, you call it cilantro chutney if all the mint is replaced with cilantro.
