Peanuts Brinjal Pachadi from Andhra
Peanuts brinjal pachadi is a simple tasty chutney made by grinding the cooked brinjal and tomato to a fine thick paste. The addition of peanuts makes it have a taste similar to that of peanut chutney. It tasted best with steaming rice and hot ghee.We had that with idly, dosa and pongal too.
