Tomato Peanut Chutney

I generally used to make tomato chutney regularly.Because it goes well with idlis and dosa's.Then one day i went to one of my friends house and she happened to make this chutney.Me and my husband liked it a lot because of the combination,tomatoe's n peanuts.So as usual got the recipe from her n started making it once in a while.
