Almond-Walnut Chutney
Dry nuts are extensive storehouses of vitamins and minerals necessary for body functioning. There are some dry nuts like walnut and almonds that help in maintaining the good cholesterol in the blood. From beautiful skin and nails to a healthy heart, dry nuts offer numerous goodness. While eating them raw is good, sometimes the H complains of them getting in between the tooth and avoids it. to ensure he receives the required goodness of these dry nuts, as well as to treat his taste buds, I came up making almond – walnut chutney out of it. This is similar to the way I make peanuts, except replacing them with almonds and walnut. They are so similar to coconut or peanut chutney and have a mild fragrance when combined with ginger. This is the best compliment for dosa or idli varieties. We had them with appam for the weekend breakfast. Do try this easy and rich chutney!
