Peanut Chutney is a very popular chutney in my home state Andhra. Its a great side for Dosa, Idli, Upma Pessarattu and Pongal. Peanuts are rich in nutrients and have high protein content. Peanuts are a good source of niacin, which contribute to brain health and blood flow. Its my all time favourite chutney. Given all the nutritional facts I tend to make this chutney more often than the coconut chutney. A super easy recipe which can be whipped up in no time provided you have some toasted peanuts.
