I promised to post the recipe of peanut chutney or dip.

Peanuts are good for heart and carry almost all the qualities of other popular kernels like pistachio, almonds etc.

Peanuts are good source of vitamins. These are essential for optimum health and wellness. So we should try to include it in our everyday meal.

You can add little tamarind to make the chutney more tangy.
