This is one of the simple side dish, if your kids don’t like
to eat nuts feed them this way they can’t figure it out. It looks like coconut chutney
but rich and healthy nuts are hidden inside. Most of them think nuts will add
up fat but it contains good fat, taking them regularly is good for health. When
following diabetic diets, adding nuts in your meal is good, you will not feel
appetite for longtime since fat takes long time to digest this is been recommended
by doctors too.

Note:
