Hi Supermoms,

'Chutneys' are easy to make, interesting  side dishes for our tiffin ( breakfast meal). It is also a healthy way to include fruits, vegetables and nuts in our diet. Today's recipe is the popular peanut chutney that can be served along with Idli/Dosa or Upma. Handful of ingredients and less than 15 minutes our side dish/chutney  is ready. Peanuts are rich in fiber, minerals and anti oxidants. A handful of nuts a day can even reduce the risk of so many diseases and keeps you hearty and healthy.
