Healthy Bites: Mint-Walnut Chutney

I have a teeny meeny balcony garden - just a couple of pots with some tough tough plants growing in them - which I have mostly ignored now for a couple of months.  Mint is a plant many claim is really difficult to kill - and I have managed to dry them out a couple of times - but they always manage to grow back! Superuseful since I love making mint chutney sandwiches :D

Fresh mint leaves - from my balcony garden :)

Walnuts - a rich source of omega-3 essential fatty acids - good for the heart and have anti-inflammtory and antioxidant properties.  Walnuts supposedly also provide a boost to the immune system and have anticancer properties.

And here's my modified version of mint chutney :D

This very unattractive chutney is superyummy.  And an easy way to eat healthy.

Recipe:
A bunch of fresh mint leaves
Almost double the quantity of corriander leaves
Green chili
Salt
Walnuts - lightly toast them in a pan with no oil, cool, and then use
Juice from one lemon
Water - a bit to help make a smooth paste

Grind all the ingredients to a smooth paste.  Done.  That's all there is to the chutney :D  Spread on wholewheat bread and munch munch.  The walnut gives the chutney a smooth creamy texture, and you won't need any butter on the bread :D

Do you cut away the corners of the bread when you make sandwiches? I ALWAYS do that :D And, of course, the nutrition in the bread is maximum in its crust (has to be na, since I don't like the taste) which I am throwing away.  What I do now is cut away the crust and store it in the fridge.  I use it to make bread upma :D :D :D
