This is my second recipe using Macadamia nuts which has a buttery taste. Check out my Creamy Butter Chicken Using Macadamia Nuts where I had replaced cashews using these yummy nuts. It has a strong buttery flavour so just an addition of 2 - 3 nuts will give a perfect flavour to the dish. In this recipe, I have used dry roasted and salted nuts along with Ivy gourd to make a delicious and creamy chutney which goes perfectly with Dosa. The procedure is quite simple, all you have to do is just cook all the ingredients together in a pan and then grind into fine paste. Cooking macadamia nuts along with veggies make the nut soft. I have also included grated Ivy gourd in tadka which helps to enhance the taste of chutney.
If you love the flavour of Macadamia nuts, then try this innovative and healthy chutney. Here comes the recipe...
