Peanut Chutney
This peanut chutney is one of the simplest chutneys to prepare. Peanuts are a source of proteins, and this chutney is a good substitute for coconut chutney. It is a delicious accompaniment to idlis, dosa, parathas, etc. It also uses dals like chana dal and urad dal which adds to its protein content without contributing much to fats. Also, unlike coconut chutney, this chutney won't get spoiled or rancid for around a week's time if you refrigerate it.

Discover The Relationship Your Baby Has With His Lovey
As your baby learns to navigate through life, your baby's lovey comforts him in everyday situations! Why does your baby share this special bond with his lovey?
Just like most babies, your baby might be fond of soft objects, colorful soft toys, stuffed animals, and other comfortable objects that he likes to play with. Quite a few times, babies form a comfort attachment with one of these objects that they carry around with them everywhere and often bring to bed for a comfortable and soothing night! These special objects are called 'loveys' and can be anything from a security blanket to a soft toy.
If your baby has a lovey, we're sure you would want to know more about his adorable relationship with this lovey and we have you covered! Scroll below to know what behavior shows the signs that your baby has a lovey and the reasons behind this behavior:
1. Your Baby Caresses His Lovey
You will find your little one hugging his lovey and caressing it. Your baby may like to stroke lovey’s hair and face and crawl or walk around the house carrying the lovey in his hands. By adoring the lovey, your baby self-soothes and cheers himself up.
2. Your Baby Won’t Like Sharing His Lovey
Lovey is special to your little one so your baby won’t like to share it with anyone else. If any other kid tries to play with or uses his lovey, your baby may protest and reach out to grab and get his lovey back from the hands of the other kid instantly. You may also find your baby crying out aloud if someone takes away his lovey and refuses to return his lovey back. This is for the simple reason that the lovey soothes and comforts and him and thus, without it, your baby feels uncomfortable.
3. Your Baby Talks With Lovey
Another interesting thing about your baby’s relationship with his lovey would be that you may find your baby talking and holding conversations with his lovey. If your baby has not yet started speaking out the words properly, you may find your baby making sounds and babbling at his lovey.
4. Your Baby Stops Crying When He Sees The Lovey
If you find it difficult to calm down your crying baby, handing over his favorite lovey helps him stop crying and play with it. The lovey is you baby's comfort object and one of the best options to pacify your crying little one due to your baby’s attachment to it.
5. Your Baby Needs Lovey While Sleeping
As your baby develops an attachment with the lovely, you will find him having his favorite soft toy near him during his sleep time. The presence of lovey while sleeping soothes your little one. Also, if you are finding it difficult to put your little one to sleep, handing over his lovey can help you make your baby go to sleep in no time.
6. Your Baby Insists On Taking The Lovey Out
When you take your baby outdoors for a change, your little one may insist on having his lovey along with him. Your baby feels comfortable in unknown situations with a known and comforting presence of his lovey and thus, will insist on taking along his lovey with him wherever he goes. Read more

If Dogs and Cats Could Make New Year Resolutions, THIS is What They'd Look Like!
Cats and dogs are known to have been enemies since time immemorial. It does make a little sense...after all, their behaviours and traits are poles apart! Cats are independent, moody, and masters of their own lives; dogs on the other hand are friendly, dependable, loyal, and very smart. One universal truth that is confirmed by cat and dog owners alike is that cats are weird, and dogs are kooky. Both animals, though, are most definitely entertaining and adorable pets to their humans.
Dog and cat owners are left with endless moments of laughter because of the silly things their pets do.
Imagine a world where cats and dogs had to make resolutions to be better pets! If that indeed were possible, what would these resolutions look like? Here’s what we imagine what they would be:
Dog’s Resolutions:
1. This year, I promise not to whine when my human is giving me a bath.
2. This year, I promise I will not chew my humans shoes (unless they’re extra chewy!)
3. This year, I promise not to drool all over my human’s food, especially after I’ve JUST eaten.
4. This year, I promise I won’t lose my mind when my human mentions going out for a walk.
5. This year, I promise I won’t feel betrayed if my human comes home smelling of another dog.
6. This year, I’ll try to get as many treats from my human as possible to set a new record.
7. This year, I promise to bark less at other dogs when I’m out on a walk. I will control my anger issues.
8. This year, I promise I’ll wag my tail harder when I see my human, and always shower him with love and affection.
Cat’s Resolutions:
1. This year, I promise I won’t lick myself and then go and lick my human immediately.
2. This year, I promise I won’t randomly scratch my human when he’s showing me love.
3. This year, I promise not to drop things off the table as and when I feel like it.
4. This year, I promise to make more funny noises because it entertains my human.
5. This year, I promise to keep my biting at a minimum.
6. This year, I promise to eat whatever my human gives me, and not act like I’m the king.
7. This year, I promise not to jump around the house for no reason.
8. This year, I promise to purr more in my human’s lap, and show him more love.

Q. my baby girl is crying because of gas. can please tell how to relieve gas?
Dr Vandan H Kumar
Paediatrician
2 mins ago
A. from your history it appears that your child is having colic pain due to gas in abdomen
in colic pain you can give anti colic medicines like colicaid 0.5 ml to the child and this medicine can be given maximum three or four times per day but to prevent this problem kindly do regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes.d
do not kee ep the child back on the bed after one burping (all gas is not removed with one burping)
during the cdolic episode you can do stomach massage and limb cycling movements and if the child is more than 2 months of age you can give tummy time also.
advisable to learn more about it from your doctor.

Q. my baby girl is not sleeping at night.
Dr Vandan H Kumar
Paediatrician
3 mins ago
A. the sleeping pattern of the child changes from time to time and will improve with increasing age of the child. if the growth and weight gain of the child is proper along with proper urine stool then there is no need to worry regarding the sleeping pattern.
you have to just see that the child is not having any disturbance during the sleep because it can occur due to gas as well as due to digestion problem. aldso see for the comfort of the child and see the bedding on which the child is sleeping.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot weather because that also can cause disturbance in the sleep. d
