Walnut Chutney

Walnuts are one of the world's healthiest food packaged with protein, healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants, omega -3s and many vitamins and minerals.

I try to include walnuts in our diet since my little one and husband refuse to eat whole walnuts. Walnut Chutney is a great way to eat some healthy nuts and tastes somewhat similar to peanut chutney. It goes well with idli, dosa, Adai, Upma, or panniyarams. Refer notes section for more variations.

Skip urad dal in tempering to make this Walnut Chutney as a Low carb, Keto Chutney.

Variation

  • You may use any nuts in the place of walnuts like soaked almonds, peanuts or cashews work too.
  • I usually add curry leaves while grinding itself so that complete nutrition of curry leaves is intaken.
  • You can skip ginger.
  • You can try using red chilies instead of green chilies.
  • Add more green chilies for spicy chutney.
  • You may add a few mint (pudina) leaves too.
