Top Tips To Make The Best Peanut Chutney
Make sure that you’re using a fresh batch of good quality dry peanuts. Older peanuts tend to go rancid, and since it is the star ingredient of this dish, it can really affect the taste and texture of this chutney. Do not skip the chana dal as that is what helps thicken the chutney and gives that beautiful texture. You can adjust the consistency of this no coconut peanut to suit your liking. Simply increase the amount of water for a smoother, more runny chutney or reduce the amount of water for a more coarse texture. I like to keep the skin of peanuts on as they’re high in fiber and vitamins and really help enhance the nutty flavors of this chutney.
Quick, simple and utterly delicious is how I like to describe this Indian Style No Coconut Peanut Chutney. Seriously, try making this chutney once and I promise it’ll find a permanent spot in your idli and dosa rotation.
