Peanut Chutney(Groundnut)


Peanut chutney is fantastic, tastes better than coconut chutney.For breakfast dishes like upma, pongal, pesarattu, dosa, and vada at my home so I prepare peanut chutney quite often.
The main use of groundnut is as a source of edible oil, but the high oil and protein contents also make it an important food crop.
Peanuts are also known as
earthnuts, ground nuts, goobers, goober peas, pindas, jack nuts, pinders, manila nuts, g-nuts, and monkey nuts.

Ingredients:

1 cup - peanuts
5 dried red chillies
6 small onion and 1 garlic clove - sliced to big chunks
½ tsp salt or to taste
1/4 cup coconut grated
tamarind - one small ball
1 tsp each - cumin,coriander seeds, urad dal and six curry leaves

Method:


Roast the peanuts to golden brown color. Cool and rub the skins off. I love the roasted peanut taste produced in this slow-cooking method.
Fry all of above in oil. Then, put them in a mixie jar and make a paste, till it is fine. Add water if required.Tastes yummy.
