CHATNI
For our annual Diwali dinner at our home this year Manu helped make the salads and the chutneys. Manu is an expert with salads and salsas and very rarely does he follow any particular recipe. In fact most of our guests will gladly recall enjoying Manu’s salads and sauces a long time after they have visited us. He just looks in the fridge, picks whatever salad veg he can find and create something delicious. We were fortunate enough this year to have some Tulsi (holly Basil) leaves (brought over by my daughter in law Komal’s mom all the way from LA).
Well obviously Manu saw these in the fridge and set about planning the chutney. What a refreshing sauce he made, it went down really well with the farsan and everyone was asking for the recipe so here it is.
2 sticks celery
hand full cilantros
1 tomato
hand full tulsi leaves
2 /3 green chilies
2 garlic cloves
lemon juice
salt
Combine all the above ingredients and blend into a smooth paste.
Enjoy!!
