Peanut/Groundnut Chutney

This is the first time I made peanut chutney at home..It can be served with dosas,idli,adai and also with rice..When served with rice it should have a thick consistency and a bit dilute for idlies and dosas



Ingredients

Peanuts - 1 cup
Red chilies - 4
Onion (small sized) - diced
Garlic - 2 pods
Tamarind paste - 2 teaspoons
Mustard seeds,Cumin seeds,Urad dhall - 1 teaspoon each
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Salt to taste

Directions


In a pan roast the peanuts for about 5 minutes in low flame until you get the smell of the peanuts..They should be roasted well..Allow them to cool and remove the skin from the peanuts..
Add a little oil in a vessel and saute the onion,garlic and red chillies for a minute..
Allow the mixture to cool..It should come to room temperature..
Take the peanuts,cooled onions,garlic,chillies,tamarind paste,salt in a blender..Add one cup of water and grind to a smooth paste..
Do the tempering with the mustard,urad dhall,cumin seeds and curry leaves and add it to the ground paste..
Chutney is ready!

  9. Peanut chutney looks good when you grind the peanuts without peeling the skin. It's healthier too!
