This is one of the most simple chuntey to prepare. I had long time aversion towards trying peanut chutney. That’s because I am not a big fan of peanuts. I mean I like it, but only in certain forms. Definitely not in gravies. So I always thought I wont like this peanut chutney and once even I tried it when I started cooking. But I totally misinterpreted the recipe and it was a flop. But when my Co-sis Bala told me this easy one that her friend told, I wanted to just give a try. And I tried it one day as you have seen it in my Paneer dosa post and few of you wanted the chutney recipe too. And yes, its peanut chutney and this is the one. You know what? I loved it. With idli, dosa and even I had it with some other deep fried snack which I forgot what it is. The best thing in this chutney is its runny and still rich, which I liked the most. So here is the recipe.

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 4
Ingredients
Peanuts - 1/2 cup
Channa dal - 1 tblsp
Urad dal - 1 tblsp
Green chilli - 5
Ginger (optional) - 1 small piece
Salt - as needed
Channa dal - 1 tblsp
Urad dal - 1 tblsp
Green chilli - 5
Ginger (optional) - 1 small piece
Salt - as needed
To temper
Oil - 2 tsp
Mustard - 1/2 tsp
Urad dal - 1 tsp
Asafoetida (optional) - 2 pinches
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Mustard - 1/2 tsp
Urad dal - 1 tsp
Asafoetida (optional) - 2 pinches
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Method
- Dry roast peanuts in low flame to ensure even roasting. Once its is crisp, transfer to a plate for cooling and roast channa and urad dal with a tsp of oil. Lastly add green chillies and fry. Cool everything. Remove the skin of the peanuts completely.
- Place in the mixer and grind with ginger (if desired), salt and water. Grind smoothly.
- Adjust water consistency to make it runny and temper with the items given under to temper table. Mix well.
Notes
- I always make the kadai hot and add peanuts, roast in low flame for more time to ensure even roasting. As it gets roasted, it slightly splits.
- Ginger can be replaced with a garlic flake too. In that case avoid asafoetida.
- If you want, you can add coconut in this same recipe.
I love my chutney runny as you would have seen it in the paneer dosa recipe post. Goes well with all tiffin items.

ReplyDeleteI made this, but was a disaster :(.. I didnt remove the skin of the peanuts and it tasted horrible. The picture looks promising.. I'll try again..
ReplyDeleteI too did the same mistake for the first time :) Do try again and make it watery. It tastes good then.
DeleteI grind it with skin it tastes good thing is may be you didn't roast them to desired level,the skin is loaded with vitamins

DeletePeanut chutney with skin tastes much better than without. They need to be roasted well. Can add a spoon of buttermilk while grinding.
DeleteMy hubby loves Peanut Chutney, but I make it in a different way (quite easy method). Juz grind roasted peanut, 1 garlic clove, red chilli, salt and marble-sized tamarind. Give it a regular chutney temper (Oil, Mustard, Urad Dhal, Hing and Curry Leaves). I should try your version of this chutney one day.
ReplyDeletesuper chutney. and its new version to me . without coconut. I generally add coconut.. but this is surely inviting.
ReplyDeleteMine is slightly different from this....will try your version sometime....we make coconut one rarely...we make peanut one regularly....
ReplyDeleteLove the peanut chutney....... very inviting!

ReplyDeleteHi. I so mean to try this recipe but I have this problem with south Indian recipes. The chana and urad dal, is it the one used to make dal? Or is it roasted or soaked or something. Wouldn't it be raw and hard?
ReplyDeleteHi. I so want to try this chutney but the urad and chana dals that you use, are they roasted or soaked or roasted or just soaked or nothing at all.
ReplyDeleteI ask this because I have seen this in a lot of south indian recipes and am therefore afraid to try them. Please do tell.
Use as indicated in the recipe... In this recipe, its either roasted and ground or for tempering, its just fried in oil. No soaking
