Banana Stem Peanut chutney- Vazhaithandu Peanut chutney- Valai thandu Peanut chutney- Valaithandu Peanut chutney- plantain stem Peanut chutney- Healthy Chutney Recipe

As you have noticed I always love to try different chutneys esp with vegetable. This provides one serving for the kids. During school days they have lunch outside and I want to make sure they get daily serving of fruits and vegetables for a day. So I try to incorporate it whichever way possible. Chutney / Dip do provide good option for that. I had some left over Platain stem / Valaithandu after making poriyal. I wanted to make chutney. To make it interesting (esp to the kids) I have decided to add peanut to it. It came out very good. I serve it with idli and I had some left over which I used to mix it with steamed rice.
