1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped orange bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
A few sprigs of cilantro to garnish
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Mint and Cilantro Chutney

2 bunches cilantro, plucked and washed (about 4 C)
1 bunch mint, plucked and washed (about 1/2 C)
1/8 tsp hing (asafoetida)
1 raw mango, chopped into large pieces
2 green chiles (serrano)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black salt
1/8 C water

Add the water to the blender first, followed by the mango, green chile, hing, and salt.  Grind well.  Now add in the cilantro and mint, and grind.  The raw mango provides the tang to the chutney, but if it is not tangy enough, you may add some juice of lemon.  All of the salt, chiles and raw mango are to taste.
