About
It is a simple and healthy chutney recipe made with peanuts, herbs, and spices for most of the South Indian Breakfast Recipes. In other words, Peanut Chutney is a simple and tasty coconut chutney alternative for Idli, Dosa, and Pongal. It is quick and easy to prepare, but the most interesting part is the shelf life. Basically, it has a longer shelf life when compared to coconut-based chutney and hence a popular choice in Western India. There are multiple ways to prepare the Peanut chutney and this post covers two basic and popular ways of preparing this chutney. The most common way is to prepare with just roasted peanuts and other spices and herbs. But the same chutney is extended by adding fresh coconut grate to make it more flavored chutney.

Notes
- Firstly, make sure to dry roast the peanut and remove the skin. Also roasting the peanuts in the oil gives good flavour.
- Also, the chutney thickens after some time. So adjust the consistency as required.
- Additionally, I have prepared chutney slightly, as the peanut will submerge the spiciness.
- Finally, the Peanut Chutney Recipe tastes great when peanuts are roasted well.
