Peanuts are low in carbs and high in protein. Peanuts contain various healthy nutrients and help to reduce weight. It also reduces the risk of heart disease. We mostly make chutney based on gram dal and in hotels too. If you got bored with the gram dal chutney, you could try this recipe. I personally prefer this chutney over gram dal coconut chutney.
