Cauliflower Chutney

Recently this chutney has become a big hit in my house, partly because this is very easy to make. Plus this chutney goes with pretty much anything, chapathi, rice, idli or upma. Also you don't have to throw away those cauliflower stems, which is always more than the cauliflower itself. So here goes the recipe:
Ingredients: Stems from the cauliflower(pretty much anything you don't want to use in the cauliflower vegetable or whatever that is you are making with that cauliflower) - washed and chopped finely, Green chillies - 8-9 depending on your taste, chopped, jeera - 1 teaspoon, oil - 1 tsp, roasted peanuts - 1 tbsp, lemon juice - 1 tbsp, mustard seeds, jeera seeds, a pinch of turmeric, a pinch of hing, curry leaves, finely chopped coriander leaves, salt to taste
Method: In a shallow pan heat oil, add jeera, green chillies and cauliflower stems, stir and cover till the cauliflower becomes soft and slightly brown. Let cool and then blend it with peanuts, lemon juice, salt adding little water at a time, checking the consistency. In another small pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, hing and turmeric and mix it with the chutney. Garnish with finely chopped coriander and enjoy the chutney. Stays in the refrigerator for upto a week.
