    peanut chutney recipe

    Peanut chutney recipe - Andhra peanut chutney made 2 ways (with and without coconut) that is served as a side dish with idli, dosa and pooris.

    This verkadalai chutney or palli chutney is the most loved spicy chutney in our home.

    We prefer it very spicy but it can be made mildly spicy also by adjusting and reducing the number of red chillies you use.

    More than with idli and dosas, we love to have this chutney with hot pooris.

    In our native, peanuts are a premium crop and it is always stored all around the year in our homes.

    So we use peanuts in anything and everything.

    It also happens to be our favorite snack to eat anytime.

    Though many may say, peanuts are not heart friendly & can make you gain weight easily, which is indeed true,

    Moderation is the key, not just with peanuts but with whatever you eat.

    Now coming to verkadalai chutney,

    side dish for idli dosa

    Which peanut works better?

    Raw, unroasted and unsalted peanuts works the best.

    Though you can use roasted peanuts to make this chutney, the texture and taste will be different. Its just not the same.

    So it is always better to use raw peanuts and roast them either on stove top or in a microwave just before making the chutney.

    Is Garlic optional?

    Yes, using garlic in the chutney is optional.

    It can be added raw the mixie jar if you happen to like the raw flavor of the garlic.

    But if you don't, since it is just 1 no, you can add this to the pan along with red chillies and roast before grinding.

    It is used to add more aroma to the chutney as peanuts are bland in the flavor department.

    So you can either add it or skip it which depends on your love for garlic flavor.

    Can I skip adding coconut?

    Again yes, using coconut is also optional.

    Adding coconut increases volume of the chutney and makes it more thick, if you prefer a thick chutney consistency.

    So add or skip coconut depending on its availability & preference.

    What's the shelf life of peanut chutney?

    Peanut chutney turns sour soon especially during the summer season at room temperature.

    So after using it, immediately place it in the refrigerator and use it up within 3 or 4 days.

    It will thicken up more but add 1 or 2 teaspoon water to dilute it before using.

    Pro-Tip while making peanut chutney:

    You can also make this chutney into a thick thogayal by increasing the quantity of the coconut.

    Grind it thick and mix it with rice and eat. It tastes delicious to eat with an appalam or chips.
