How to make Groundnut chutney / Peanut chutney
Preparation time: 10 min | Cook Time: 5 min | Serves: 4
Recipe Category: Side dish | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Ingredients
- Groundnut / Peanuts – 1 cup
- Red chillies – 4
- Coriander – few
- Curry leaves – 15 – (few for grinding and few for frying)
- Urud dal – 1 tsp
- Mustard seeds – 1/4 tsp
- Salt – 1/2 tsp ( or as per taste )
- Oil – 1 tsp
- Water – 1/2 cup
Method
1. Take 1 cup of groundnut and dry fry in a wok/kadai/pan in medium heat.
2. Take care not to burn the groundnut. Check if the groundnut skin has become little dark as shown in the below picture. ( Some people may remove the skin at this stage, but my mother, used to say, it is also healthier. So I did not remove the skin).
3. Transfer the content to the mixer grinder.
4.To this add the red chillies, coriander, curry leaves (5), salt.
5. Add water and grind to a paste.
6. In another kadai/wok, add the oil and when hot mustard seeds, urud dal and when they are slight brown, add in the curry leaves and fry for a minute. Mix this thalippu, to the prepared chutney/paste.
7. Serve it with idili or dosa or pongal. Even can be mixed with white rice and eat.
Notes:
1. You may skip adding the curry leaves while grinding. But I prefer grinding, as my kids, through the curry leaves away from the chutney.
2. As I said, before, grinding the groundnuts, you can cool it down after frying and remove the skin, just by rubbing in hands, if you do not want the skin. Its purely an option.
3. While grinding, you can add 1 or 2 tsp grated coconut to enhance the taste.
4. You can add little tamarind, if you like tangy taste.
5. Red chillies can be replaced by green chillies also.

Hi Sapna.. Thanks for the quick comment. Some people add, but this version is with pure groundnut. Try this and let me know how it tastes.
Sapana Behl says
Wow!i make this with dosa. Nice clicks but I add tamarind or lemon to give a bit sour taste. Is it ok to make it without citrus .
