ONION NUTS CHUTNEY FOR BREAKFAST /APPETIZERS / KIDS LUNCH BOX

Onions Nuts Chutney for Breakfast /Appetizers / Kids Lunch Box with Methi Pakora 

 For  Monday Kids Lunch Box I was planning to pack Methi Pakora. Thinking what will be the perfect pair for the Pakora’s. Just remembered Onion Chutney . With all the Vegetables I completely forgotten about this Chutney .  It is very tasty Chutney . Sunday evening I prepared and refrigerated. It is difficult to prepare in the Morning as my daughter has to go School by 7 A. M . You don’t need to reheat the Chutney . It will come to room temperature by Lunch time. I prepared Methi Pakora in the Morning. Just Pan fried. Onion Nuts Chutney is a Simple recipe prepared with few Ingredients. It will be little Sweet and Sour taste. I guarantee Kids will  bring their empty Lunch Boxes. I added Mixed Nuts and Spices like Cumin and Coriander  for flavor and Red chillies for little Spicy bite. Don’t forget to add Seasoning for little crunch from Urad dal and smoky flavor from Cumin seeds and Hing. You can refrigerate and Use the Chutney for 3 to 4 Days . Serve with Breakfast recipes like Dosa , Idli , Upma and even with Poha . Or as a side for Lunch / Dinner or with Appetizers.  Here is the Simple recipe with few Ingredients.
