I know I was supposed to post a lunch or dinner recipe but after making this podi I always had it with my rice at dinner or lunch time so I thought to post it under Lunch/Dinner category. When we moved to Ireland we were living at a South Indian friend’s house while looking for our house.They used to serve us this peanut chutney podi with rice and upma and we did like the aromatic flavour of that powder. We were getting a little familiar with the chutney podis taste as it is not our routine food .So despite me being skeptical to make this chutney podi thinking no one would want to eat it, I still made it .And guess what they all love it and I have had made it a couple of times since then.
