South Indian breakfasts are incomplete without chutneys. Freshly ground chutney with hot tempering adds a unique taste to Soft idlis , Crispy Dosas, Pongal, Pesarattu etc. I remember having hot breakfast every morning made by mom, I was brought up like that with hot hot foods always. Coming to the recipe, peanut chutney is my favorite chutney which I make often at home. Its very quick and easy to make.
