Almond chutney looks / tastes very much like coconut chutney and it goes very well with idli / dosa and with pongal too. Last week when I was surfing the net for something I found this badam chutney recipe and pushed me to make it for that day dinner as a side dish for Idli. We loved this chutney and it was delicious. It has many varieties and I made it without any onion or coconut. Almond provide us with immense health benefits and it is lower bad cholesterol also it provides healthy fat and aids in weight loss. Nowadays I started to make it very often :-)
