Peanut Chutney / Kallekaya chutney

I will bet that peanut lovers are in for a treat. If you are a peanut lover wether it is a raw/fried peanuts or peanutbutter, Kallekaya chutney is going to be on top of your list next time you think of chutney! This is my hubby's favorite side for Idlis, dosas and chapathi. At home we prepare slightly different from this recipe , this one is inspired from Andhra Pradesh (Vijayawada). Since the discovery of this recipe we have liked no other! Try this nutty chutney today.
