Michele’s Kitchen Notes
About that peanut chutney!!!!

Hari Kondabolu, the comedian describes how he used to shun his mom’s cooking as a kid but grew to love it as he got older, wiser and more grateful for his mother’s gifts in the kitchen. I felt like I got to know his mother, Uma in this episode and she is a remarkable woman. Wise and funny and a great cook. Hari shared her recipe for peanut chutney served with breakfast cakes called Idli and now you can enjoy it too.
