Hello All.. Zaykedar is finally back in action after a brief period of inactivity :-) And I really want to thank all of you who constantly complained about 'no new posts' which finally sparked my motivation to cook something new ..A BIG THANKS again !!
Though this post  is a '2 minute' thing and not a 'recipe' , am quite sure , you guyz surely gonna try this immediately . Till date I have made Chatni's with many permutation combinations, but this one is something i wanted to try for so long as my Nani used to make this. My Nani was one of the best cooks in this world . Her simple recipes always had a huge fan following. The best part of this Chatni is that you can not only relish it as a dip with Pakodas and Paratha's but can also use it as a Spread for making yummy sandwiches in Summers. Take a look at the recipe:
