Peanut and Mint Chutney



Most of our week days dinner would be either fluffy idly or crispy dosa or spongy uthappam.To accompany I have to make 2 different varieties of chutney according to each ones taste bud. The fresh mint leaves  attracted me to make some chutney,in our household we make mint chutney in a slightly different way with the urad dhal.
