    The easy way to make this fresh chutney is in an electric blender. Everything is put in blender container (the spring onions cut short lengths and the chilies seeded and stalks removed), then blended to a smooth paste. If a blender is not available finely chopped mint, onions and chilies. Pound in mortar and pestle a little a time, until ground to a paste. Mix in remaining ingredients into a small dish, smooth the surface, cover and chill serving time.
