The main ingredients.

This celery chutney is a typical South Indian style chutney which is hot and spicy. The recipe is simple and straightforward, and it is really fun if all the ingredients are available.

Celery. Celery grows just above the ground, and wash and rinse multiple times until the stem looks clean without any impurities. And there are some chances of mud stuck in between the stalk. So before cleaning, separate each stalk from the bunch and clean individually.

Tamarind. Being a South Indian, our pantry is always filled with tamarind. You may also use tamarind pulp instead of the tamarind.
Looking for the substitute for tamarind or tamarind pulp? Use raw mango or dry mango powder, as two ingredients are the closest substitute for tamarind.
Or you may also use lemon juice to balance the flavors of celery and the red chili in this celery chutney recipe.

Mustard seeds. You cannot think of any South Indian recipes without this ingredient. Mustard brings out an authentic Tamil style flavor.

Urad dal and Chana dal. These two lentils are otherwise called as skinless black gram and Bengal gram. These add a rich texture and notable protein content to this Indian celery chutney.

You may swap with any other lentils you have at home. But make sure you fry them completely in the cooking oil.
