In my regular Tamil online magazine, there was an article with the recipe of Celery chutney. I got intrigued by the recipe , an Indian version of Celery that looked too good. I made few changes to the original recipe for my taste and it turned out YUM 🙂 Finally I could finish off all the celery stalks staying in the fridge 🙂 I can have this even as a spread in bread 😛 So here it is

Ingredients:

Celery : a big bunch chopped to small pieces

Cilantro leaves : few stalks

Red Onion: 1/4 of a large chopped

Ginger : 1/4 inch piece chopped

Garlic : 1 pods chopped

Green Chili : 1

Lemon Juice : 1 tablespoon or Tamarind : 1 small piece ( I used Tamarind)

Salt : 1 teaspoon

Oil : 1/2 teaspoon

Cumin Seeds : 1/4 teaspoon

Mustard Seeds : 1/4 teaspoon

Urad dal : 1/4 teaspoon

Curry Leave : few

Method:

Heat oil in a pan. When hot add the mustard seed, urad dal, cumin seeds. When they crackle add the curry leaves.
Now add the onions ,green chili, garlic and saute till translucent.
Next add the chopped celery. Saute for 3 to 4 mins. Add the lemon juice or tamarind piece.
Finally add cilantro leaves, ginger and saute for 2 mins and stop cooking. Let it cool.
After cooling blend it to a fine paste ( to chutney consistency)
Serve with Idli/Dosa 🙂
