This is an instant chutney I regularly make, almost every week. There are many different variations for this simple South Indian condiment, basically depends on the available ingredients at home, at that instance. Apart from that, for such regular chutneys, every household has a particular recipe carried over generations.
You might have your own recipe, but try my version of this mild in spice Peanut/Palli chutney and see. Of course, its a Vegan + Gluten free + Dairy free recipe.
We had this chutney as a condiment along with South Indian breakfast recipe, Dibba Rotte / Plumpy Roti (Recipe Link: Dibba Rotte / Plumpy Roti (Andhra style) ) as shown in the below pic.
How to serve ‘Peanut Chutney / Palli Pachchadi’:
This chutney is mostly suitable as a condiment only for South Indian style breakfast recipes like, Idli, Dosa, Uthappam, Medu Vada, Ponganalu, Punugulu.
It is not suitable with rice or with North Indian style flat bread, roti.
Possible alterations in the recipe, ‘Peanut Chutney / Palli Pachchadi’:
Store bought, Roasted & Salted peanuts can be happily used in this recipe. Just avoid to roast them again and check the salt quantity too.
The dry red chillies can be replaced with fresh green chillies but the final colour of the chutney would be different.
The final tempering can be skipped, it is added to give that additional final touch to the chutney.
I have used dry seedless tamarind in here, but just substitute it with approximately 2 tablespoons of puree. Same is the case with readily available tamarind puree.
I prefer adding hot water while grinding the roasted ingredients to get that perfect texture of the Peanut Chutney. Optionally, you might even add water at room temperature.
If you are allergic to peanuts, Sorry, there is no other way, but just to avoid this chutney.
