Sweet and Sour Coriander Chutney

Coriander like all leafy greens is rich in chlorophyll, a compound that may help in treating cancerous tumours. It also helps to prevent damage done to genes by harmful aflatoxins. Regular consumption of greens has been shown to increase antioxidants in the body that have immune-boosting, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects as well as protect your skin from aging and sun damage. Coriander can help reduce unpleasant digestive symptoms like bloating and discomfort often experienced by people with IBS, and also help boost appetite. And most important of all it’s a delicious accompaniment to any meal.
