Palli Pachhadi/Peanut Chutney/easy chutney/andhra pachallu/Chutney/Idli-dosa chutney

Indian cooking is all about right combination for the food items we eat like Upma-Pesrattu, Puri-Bhaji, Idli-vada, sambar with Papad, et al. A wholesome tasty breakfast is incomplete without the right chutney. Chutney enhances our taste buds and makes our main item even more tastier.

Imagine a Weekend watching your favorite tv show and enjoying a hot breakfast with fluffy, soft Idlis or vadas or dosas with the all time favorite Peanut Chutney. Later treat yourself with Strong, hot steaming Coffee. Wow..........what a start off the weekend!!!.

Well preparation of this chutney is so easy that Bachelors also can kick start the day or weekend with traditional food items like Idlis. ( Readymade batters are available in Desi stores which makes it even more easier to cook Idli or Dosa.)
