Peanut Coriander Chutney

Chutney # 14

Being a South Indian, who invariably loves chutney’s, I end up having either dosas or idlis for breakfast on most of the days. Thus I am always on the look out for chutneys which I can make and have as an accompaniment during the morning meal.

This week, I tried Peanut Coriander chutney. I had some peanut powder readily available, which I had made earlier and stored. Thus making this chutney, quick and hassle free. Here comes my yet another pacchadi which can be made in less than 10 minutes!
