Walnut Sauce

Method

Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant, then allow to cool slightly. Place the toasted walnuts and crushed garlic cloves into a food processor and blend to a fine paste. Gradually add the water whilst processing to reach a smooth, pourable sauce consistency. Stir in the salt, coriander, fenugreek, and chilli powder, then add the vinegar and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The sauce should be creamy, slightly spiced, and rich with walnut flavour. Transfer to a bowl and serve at room temperature as an accompaniment to chicken, vegetables, or bread.
