Spinach walnut dip/chutney


Spinach walnut chutney

About:

Generally Chutney/Dip sauce ingredients are sauted in vegetable oil and ground in the blenders/food processors. They are added to meals for flavour.

Palak/spinach chutney is an awesome dip with unique taste. In this recipe spinach and spices are sauted in oil and blend to a sauce with walnuts and lemon juice.  Using walnut is a variation in this dip, traditionally fresh coconut is used but using walnut adds nutty taste to the sauce.

Relish this with idli/dosa/steamed rice.

These are double cooked so they are hearty and filling. They can also be cooked in stew/soup gravy for an induced taste instead of pressure cooker.
