Mint Peanut Chutney

Vani, a very close friend in my society has always inspired me and appreciated the food I cook.  Both our daugther's study in the same school and same class :)...

Her daugther, Veena is a big fan of few snacks that I make... i.e. Wada Hariyali, Stuffed Idli etc.  Vani would place food orders with me and keeps promoting me and also insists that I must start some food joint soon so that other's can also enjoy variety of food and I can fulfill my passion... 

This has also been my dream... Hope with almighty's support this dream will soon come true!!
