Peanut Chutney

Chutneys are an essential part of South Indian breakfast. Be it idli, dosa or pongal, without a chutney the meal is incomplete. Now this peanut chutney is something I make often for dosa and idli. Its easy, quick and handy when you have no coconut in your pantry.

This roasted peanut chutney is spicy, creamy and flavorful with a tinge of garlic and tamarind. It goes well with most of the breakfast items like dosa, idli, pesarattu, rava idli and pongal. You can store this chutney in an airtight container and refrigerate. It stays good for 4-5 days.
