"Mon dhania" appears to be a phonetic or affectionate way of referring to dhania (धनिया), which is Hindi for fresh coriander leaves (also known as cilantro). This is a classic Indian green chutney (hari dhania chutney), a vibrant, tangy, and spicy condiment that's a staple with snacks like samosas, pakoras, chaat, dosa, idli, or even as a spread in sandwiches.
Here's a simple, authentic recipe that serves 4-6 as a dip. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients:
2 bunches fresh coriander leaves (dhania) – about 2-3 cups packed (wash thoroughly and roughly chop, discard thick stems)
2-4 green chilies (adjust for spice level)
3-4 garlic cloves (or 1-inch ginger for a milder version)
1-2 tbsp lemon juice (or 1 tsp amchur/dry mango powder for tang)
1 tsp cumin seeds (optional, for extra flavor)
Salt to taste
2-4 tbsp water (as needed for blending)
Optional add-ins for variations:
A handful of fresh mint leaves (for dhania-pudina chutney)
1-2 tbsp roasted peanuts or yogurt (for creaminess)
A small piece of raw mango (in season, for extra tang)
Instructions:
Wash the coriander leaves well under running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry or shake off excess water.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped coriander leaves, green chilies, garlic (or ginger), cumin seeds, salt, and lemon juice.
Blend to a smooth paste, adding water little by little to achieve a thick but pourable consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust: more lemon for tang, more chilies for heat, or salt as required.
Transfer to a bowl. For restaurant-style, you can temper with a tsp of hot oil and mustard seeds (optional).
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze in ice cube trays for longer.
