I have noticed a lighter sauce like liquid (watery) with green chilies cut in it served along with fried rice in Indian restaurants. It tastes slightly like soya, and has visible round pieces of cut green chilies in it. (It's definitely not mint chutney.)
Does anyone know the name of that sauce?
Best Answer
Normally I would say this question is too vague- however a common sauce, found in practically every Indian restaurant, fits that description.
Mint chutney:
It is basically mint leaves and peppers blended with garlic, lemon and seasonings.
It is ubiquitous in Indian cuisine (in several regions) and every Indian restaurant I have been to.

Answer 2
I think the sauce you are looking for may be Nam Prik Nam Pla, pictured below.
The basic recipe is simply sliced birds' eye chilies soaked in fish sauce. Some recipes call for both red and green chilies. Other recipes call for other ingredients such as lime juice, sugar or brown sugar, garlic, shallots, etc.
EDIT Still haven't found anything with Indian origins, but here is a picture of a Malaysian variation, which is birds' eye chilis marinated in soy sauce.
