When we made the Oats Pesarattu, we wanted to select a healthy chutney as we had to avoid peanuts and Hubby dear isn't a great fan of coconut chutney. Amma had this chutney noted down in her diary. She might have noted from the TV show, I am not sure. We wanted to try it still. Also didn't want to reveal it ahead to him, as I knew he might not want to even taste it.Just as I thought, he liked it and wanted to know what it was made of. I ensured I told him after he ate. And yes he said he liked it and would not want to be told what it is if it was something like cabbage!
Well on our part we were happy that we got a recipe that's very healthy too.
