By Dr. Sirisha Potluri

INGREDIENTS

• 6-8 Ripe Tomatoes

• 8 -10 Green Chillies( take only 4-5 if using Thai chilli)

• 3 table spoons Hemp Seeds

• 8-10 walnuts

• 5 Garlic Cloves

• 1/4 tsp Fenugreek Seeds

• 1 tbsp Coriander Seeds

• 1 tsp Cumin Seeds

• Salt

Procedure:

Dry roast the fenugreek seeds in a pan. Then add Coriander Seeds, Cumin Seeds, and keep them aside to cool

We will use raw hemp seeds and walnuts!

Heat a thick bottom pan, add Green Chillies and Sauté till soft. Then add Tomato pieces and let them cook.

Tomatoes should cook fully and become a soft paste. Then add Garlic and cook for 2 more minutes, off the stove and let it cool!

Make a coarse powder of dry roasted fenugreek, coriander, cumin and hemp seeds along with walnuts, now add cooked tomato mix in this and blend to make chutney/ dip, add little bit of tamarind paste or lemon juice if tomatoes are not tangy enough.

We can eat this with idly, Dosa, or use a dip for bell peppers , potatoes, Brussel sprouts,Asparagus and other veggies!
