1 Tbs Sesame seeds

1 tsp salt

2 tsp cumin seeds

1/2 tsp turmeric

4 Tbs blanched almonds

*Optional: Add 2 cups of washed spinach

Place all the ingrediants in blender with the cilantro on top and blend until smooth.  I use the Vitamix and push the cilantro to blend well.

This chutney is delicious with Dosas and also as a spread for a sandwich with lettuce, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.
