EASY PEANUT CHUTNEY RECIPE FOR IDLI DOSA - HOTEL STYLE GROUNDNUT CHUTNEY

Peanut chutney also known as groundnut chutney/ Kadlekai chutney/ Verkadalai chutney/ Palli chutney was in my try list for long time. Though I am not a big fan of it, I wanted to try it for Sendhil. I know he loves peanut a lot. So I got this recipe from my friend Megha who is an expert in cooking Andhra & Karnataka dishes.

I learnt ragi mudde and so many typical Andhra , Karnataka recipes from her. I will share them one by one in future. And coming to this chutney, I have tried many times in my kitchen. Like Sendhil, I too started loving this chutney a lot. I am not sure whether this chutney is of Andhra style because I found different types of Andhra style peanut chutney recipes on net. Whatever be its origin, it tastes great !

Sometimes I use little milk along with water to make the chutney super white in color & it tastes more like the chutney that is served in road side hotels. It is a best side dish for idli, dosa. U can make “N” number of variations in this chutney. I have shared them in “Notes” section. So if you are a peanut lover, do try this easy groundnut chutney recipe. I am sure,u’ll make it more often like me.
