| Step | Description |

Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Preparing the Spread
- Gather all your ingredients: low-fat cream cheese, Major Grey chutney, curry powder, mustard powder, and celery rib.
- In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, chutney, curry powder, and mustard powder.
- Pulse the mixture until everything is well combined and smooth. The flavors should meld together beautifully, creating a tantalizing spread.
Step 2: Chilling and Assembling
- Transfer the creamy spread into a small bowl. This will make it easier to handle and serve.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill. This not only firms up the spread but also allows the flavors to intensify as they meld together.
- While the spread chills, prepare the celery ribs. Wash and dry them thoroughly, then cut them into manageable sticks.
- Once the spread is sufficiently chilled, take it out of the refrigerator and begin filling each celery stick with the creamy mixture. The contrast between the crunchy celery and creamy spread is divine!
Step 3: Serving Options
- If you prefer a different presentation, you can also pack the chilled spread into a crock or small serving dish.
- Serve the spread alongside a variety of crackers, allowing guests to spoon it onto their chosen crackers for a delightful appetizer experience.
- Don’t forget to garnish with a sprinkle of curry powder or chopped nuts for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal!
