Walnut - Celery Chutney


Though Celery is a boring vegetable for your taste bud, it is healthy for your body because of its vitamins & minerals.                      
Walnut & Celery combination helps in lowering Cholesterol & blood pressure.                   
I use Celery in my Minestrone soup & Whole Lentil Dhal. After using it in the soup, I had still more than 1/2 a bunch of Celery and I was supposed to make Walnut Chutney for a Party.                              
Well.. Y don't I try using it in my Chutney. Let’s see how it works out                      

Ingredients: 
Walnuts------------------->2 cups
Celery--------------------->1/2 bunch chopped into chunks
Onion --------------------->1 Sliced
Tomato-------------------->2 Sliced
Green Chilli--------------->10 (A2Y spice bud)
Ginger--------------------->4 inch
Garlic---------------------->3 (Optional)
Cilantro------------------->1 bunch
Salt------------------------->As desired
Olive Oil------------------->5 tsp
              
Method:                 

·         Make powder out of Walnuts in Pulse mode (of Mixie) and keep it aside                             
·         Heat oil in a pan, add chunks of Celery and fry until it is cooked.                
·         If you don't like the raw smell of Onions & Tomatoes, add those also along with Celery.                
·         When it is cool, grind it with rest of the ingredients                         
·         Now add the powdered Walnut, sometimes because of the oil it might turn as hard butter instead of powder.                 
·         If the chutney is for Idly or Dosai, water can be added.; otherwise grind everything to make 'Thovaiyal'
