PEANUT CHUTNEY

       PEANUT CHUTNEY is always my favourite chutney. But in my house peanut chutney is not a regularly made thing. I tasted this chutney from my school friend once and it became my favourite instantly. I always wanted to make the best peanut chutney. I tried from many websites and blogs. But i didn't get the taste i was having in my mind. Then last week i combined all the things i learned from the blogs and created my own recipe out of it. Surprisingly that was the taste i was searching for. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:
Peanut- 1 cup
Grated coconut- 1 cup
dhalia- 1 tbsp
Onion- 1(medium)
Green chillies- 2-3
Red chilly- 2
Tamarind paste- 1 tsp
Oil- 1 tbsp
Salt

Preparation:
  1. Pour some oil in a pan. Add the peanuts in the oil and saute till it becomes golden color.
  2. Add the dhalia and fry for two seconds. Add the red and green chillies and saute well
  3. Add the onion and saute until the raw smell of onion goes away.
  4. Add the grated coconut and salt and saute for a minute.
  5. Switch off the flame and add the tamarind paste to it.
  6. Put the mixture in a grinder or blender and grind it into a fine paste.
  7. Tempering is optional
