Spicy Apple-Peanut Butter Chutney with Sabudana Dosa

Yeeehaaw!!!! This is going to be the theme for this Sunday breakfast at my home. Ya!! you guys guessed it right, this is my entry for the WBB #12 hosted by Trupti at The Spice Who Loved Me with a theme Spice it up for breakfast. Coming from Andhra and being in Texas I need not say anything more about my spice level, but to get creative on this I tried varieties of dishes. Though they were okay, this one pleased my taste buds. I regularly have an Apple with a tbsp of Peanut butter for my breakfast, on one fine day morning I got this idea of making a chutney out of both, which turned out really delicious. Andhra is famous for its pickles and chutneys. So, this one is one new variety of chutney that got added to my list.

Its going to rain at our place on this weekend and this spice will keep us warm and cozy for the day.
