For the Chutney: Combine coriander leaves, garlic, chili and remaining lime juice in a blender or in the cup of a hand blender and add 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides and adding water as necessary. Season to taste with salt.

Add more liquid to gravy if necessary and serve with chutney and steamed basmati rice or naan.
