Your wish is our command, yet again! Here we go with the recipe of peanut chutney!
We wouldn’t be exaggerating if we said that peanut chutney has replaced the age-old coconut chutney as the essential side dip for all #southindiandishes for us! Be it idli (steamed rice dumplings), dosa (rice-pulse based thin crisp pancakes), uttapam (thick savoury pancakes) or vada (fried pulse based donut kind dumplings) or even the #northindian delicacies like #stuffedparatha or #chilla, one can just not go wrong to have it along with #peanutchutney instead of your regular dips. The flavours that it adds to the whole meal is so good, that we don’t pair it with #sambhar most of the time.
