Chutney a must breakfast condiment in any south-indian home. But it is always a confusion what to make and always looking for something different than the normal Coconut/Tomato Chutney.
I normally try to avoid making Coconut Chuntey, fearing those calories!!!! So, keep looking/trying for some different chutney. Peanut Chutney is my hubby's favorite, but this time i tried by adding some onion to it, tasted good.
Walnut Chutney recipe i got it from a tamil magazine, tasted great, hubby dear was surprised, when i told him it is Walnuts!!! Just try it and surprise your better half!!!!!
