Prep time: 10 minutes

A delicious and hearty chutney that I put together today. I used it as a sandwich spread for a quick and healthy lunch. It is also perfect to be used like a dip for your snacks! It's healthy and versatile - Green peas flavoured with ginger, coriander and pine nuts. Lots of vitamins and antioxidants coming your way with this chutney :)

Ingredients:

Green Peas: I cup – Frozen or fresh

Ginger – ½ inch piece, peeled and chopped

Fresh coriander leaves – 10-12 leaves

Lemon juice – 1 tsp

Green chili – 1 (optional)

Roasted Pine nuts – 10 to 12

Salt to taste

Method:

Boil the green peas until cooked. The boiling time depends on wether you use fresh or frozen ones. I used frozen ones and boiled them for about 5-7 minutes. Drain the water and lay the peas on kitchen paper to drain the excess water. Now add the peas along with the other ingredients into a food processor and blend until you get a paste. You can add a splash of water if the mixture is dry. The texture of this chutney is best if left a bit a coarse and too pasty.

Voila! It's now ready to use as a sandwich spread or just as a dip with poppadum’s or samosas!
