Nutritional Information

This peanut chutney is one of the simplest chutneys to prepare. Peanuts are a source of proteins, and this chutney is a good substitute for coconut chutney. It is a delicious accompaniment to idlis, dosa, parathas, etc. It also uses dals like chana dal and urad dal which adds to its protein content without contributing much to fats. Also, unlike coconut chutney, this chutney won’t get spoiled or rancid for around a week’s time if you refrigerate it.
