PEANUT CHUTNEY

My husji's favourite chutney, this is basically from Tamilnadu...We love to have this with dosa idli, or any instant dosas like oats uthappam , Andra pesarattu ..


Ingredients:


Peanuts
½  cup
Garlic
1 big
Red chillies
2 – 3 nos
Mustard seeds
¼ tsp
Curry leaves
1 stem
Asafetida
A pinch
Tamarind
a small piece
Salt
As per taste


Method

1. Dry roast the peanut in med fire. When the peanuts starts to break up then switch off the fire.





2. Once it cools down, rub the peanuts with the hands , the skin will get detached , or any methods that are easy for u.Some times i put the peanuts in a strainer and rub it with the hands, the friction of the strainer makes easier to remove the skin . No problem if some skin remains back.
3. In a mixer jar, ground the garlic, tamarind,  redchillies and then add the peanut.
4. Add enough water according to the desired consistency. Also add the salt .





5. Heat oil in a tadka pan, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, once the spluttering ends add asafetida and switch off the fire.


Notes:

     1.       Always  add water while grinding otherwise the paste and water doesnot get mixed up well.
     2.       If  ur  making the chutney watery then the red chillies must be used in max. 
     3 .  Peanuts can be grounded with skin too.. its of personal choice.
