Orange Peel Chutney / Pachadi

This chutney is one of the best side dishes that goes good with Kara Kuzhambu/Puli Kuzhambu/Vatha kuzhambu. My MIL used to prepare it with Citron(Narthangai) peels but I tried it with orange peels. The taste is so good and personally, I felt it is bit more aromatic than citron peels. This chutney is sweet in taste.
