Hi friends, mostly
morning breakfast is very important to start the energetic day... But we
usually have idli, dosa, chapathi, upma and etc... Every time when we make idli
or dosa, the next question will be what is the side dishes?? There are common
chutneys which will made often such as coconut chutney, tomato chutney, onion chutney, mint chutney and peanut chutney etc... The majority will be the
coconut chutney, but often having the chutney will be bore... Right??
Hence, yesterday I
made the capsicum chutney with dash of peanuts. This is first time made and it
was come out really very well and great hit in my home... Am sure, from now on
I will make this often...
