Ingredients
- 1 bunch Celery Sticks (washed, trimmed and cut into chunks (peeling optional))
- 1 Green Chilli (Serrano Pepper)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Olive Oil (or other cooking oil)
Optional
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
- Curry Leaves (Kadi patta, a few leaves)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Add oil to a fry pan on medium heat. | |
| Step 2 | |
| When oil is hot, add cumin seeds. Stir fry a little, for a minute or so. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Cut the green chilli into small pieces. Or slice it lengthwise into two. Or make a thin 1 inch slit in the green chilli. | |
| Step 4 | |
| When cumin seeds crackle a little, or look slightly fried, add the green chilli. Stir fry until the chilli looks slightly fried. | |
| Step 5 | |
|
Add the celery chunks and half a teaspoon salt. Celery will not absorb salt too much. So add salt little by little to taste. Add the turmeric and the curry leaves, if you like.  | |
| Step 6 | |
| Sprinkle a tablespoon of water. Mix the contents well. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. | |
| Step 7 | |
|
Uncover, stir the contents. Add a little water and a tablespoon of oil, if the contents look too dry or start to burn.  | |
| Step 8 | |
| Stirring the contents every 2 minutes, cook for 5 more minutes or until celery is cooked, but still firm. | |
| Step 9 | |
|
Serve hot as a side dish.  | |
