Chutney pood - Lasoonyacheor Kobryachi

Chutney pood is a Marathi word for dry powdered chutney. My mom used to give when I was staying in hostel for my degree course. I used to have this as a side dish almost for all. My friends and myself finish it off within one week and we will wait for next vacation to come :) I share this receipe for Nupur's RCI.
