One day it was just a random talk with 2 of my good friends and the topic of Walnuts popped up. We joked about making it into a chutney. But the topic brewed silently in the mind and soon enough within days took shape.. Yeah why not, why stop with joking? why not take action boldly? Whats the big deal.. just a few walnuts.. So I tried with basic ingredients and the outcome was incredibly delicious. Introducing to you.. The Walnut Chutney!
Simplest Chutney of all... No frying.. nothing. Just toss them all in the Mixie and grind. Seasoning is optional.
Besides, Walnut is packed with Nutrition, helps lower Bad Cholesterol, Great vitamin E source, And rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Read more about the Goodness of Walnuts here.
Coming to the recipe, I tried this ratio and it came out perfect.
Feel free to play with the ratio to suit your taste buds.
The below ratio will yield about 3/4 cup of Chutney.
Grind the following with little water:
2 handful of Walnuts (about 20 nuts)2 Red Chillies
2 garlic pods
1/8th spoon of salt (or as per taste)
Then season it with 1 tsp of oil, 1 Red Chilly, 4 Curry leaves, 1/2 tsp of Mustard seeds, 1/2 tsp Urad dhal, 1/2 tsp of Chana dhal, a pinch of Hing.
My Dear Husband suggests adding a little bit of tamarind to the recipe . :-) He is a great critic. ;-)
Let me do so next time and shall update the outcome to you folks.
