Peanut Chutney

Peanuts contain the good monounsaturated fat, protein, antioxidants and having a good amount of peanut provide good health benefits. Roasted peanut chutney goes well with dosa.

Ingredients

1/2 cup - Roasted Peanut
1 big - Shallot, diced
2 - Dry red chili
3 tbsp - Yogurt/Curds ( medium sour )
Salt to taste

Seasoning

1/2 tsp - Mustard seeds
1/4 tsp - Jeera / cumin seeds
A pinch or two - Hing / Asafoedita
1 sprig - Curry leaves
2 - Dry red chili
Sesame oil

Method

1 ) Heat oil in a pan, add shallots, dry red chili and fry lightly till shallot is fried a bit. Cool.

2 ) Into a blender, add roasted peanuts, fried ingredients, yogurt, salt to taste and little water and grind to a smooth paste.

3 ) In a pan heat oil, pop mustard seeds, then add jeera, dry red chili, curry leaves and hing. Pour this seasoning on top of the chutney and mix in.


Serve with dosa.

To roast peanuts in microwave - Place 1/2 cup peanuts in microwave safe plate and microwave for 2 minutes. Stop in between and stir and then continue cooking. Cook with caution, as peanuts can burn, if over cooked.

Pravs!! My Hubby's favourite, you know as soon as i start roasting the peanuts and before the skins comes off, 1/2 of them are already gone and after i make the chutney, its all his, i don't add shallots or curds but a small coconut piece. Should try your version as well!! It looks delicious!!

I'm a new reader, but THANK YOU for posting this. My husband of 6yrs is Hyderabadi and I try to make something new every so often. I've always LOVED a good peanut chutney, but never attempted to make it because he didn't think I could do it! Your recipe was easy to follow, and although I changed it a bit (leaving out the coconut, and adding some garlic and tamarind), it tasted PERFECT! He loved it, and was really impressed! My dosas need some work, but practice makes perfect! Thanks again for posting this! I can't wait to read more of your recipes!
