Green Pea Dip

It was always Chilli Mayonnaise for my hubby n me as a dip  with veggie crudities, till we became a bit sensible about our eating habits! From then on  I have been experimenting on different kinds of dips to replace mayo.

Green Peas contain a unique assortment of health protective phytonutrients. They are low in fat as well. So I thought why not make a dip using the delicate green peas adding a couple of healthy nuts.. " Almonds".

Ingredients:

1 cup of frozen green peas. (u can use fresh ones as well)

6 Almonds soaked in hot water for half an hou

2 tbsp of fresh lime juice

1 tbsp of roasted sesame seeds

A fistful of finely chopped cilantro leaves 

1 tbsp of Olive oil

Salt to taste

Two green chillies

A tsp of Cayenne pepper for garnishing

Method:

Grind all the above ingredients (excepting the Cayenne pepper) 

I like to keep the dip slightly coarse. Garnish the dip with cayenne pepper. The almonds give the dip a a nice creamy texture and enhance the taste as well.

Serve it with veggie crudities.
