I have never been liking peanuts until I started having this chutney. My hubby loves peanuts on the other hand. When ever we are on flight or any trips his major snack would be roasted peanuts. I somehow never developed that liking for peanuts. When I saw so many people discussing on this chutney, I felt I should give it a try some time. And I absolutely loved this chutney. Of all the chutney’s I prepare peanuts chutney has now become my favorite šŸ™‚ A very simple chutney and goes well with any South Indian breakfast. I have adapted this recipe from vahchef.
