Peanut chutney recipe, Groundnut chutney

Peanut chutney is a mild spicy, garlicky, little tangy and flavorful chutney prepared in a very simple and quick way with very few ingredients and served with idli and dosa. Peanut chutney can be prepared with or without coconut but I usually choose to prepare it without coconut as its my hubby’s all time favorite chutney and also the below recipe yields more tasty chutney than the one with coconut. For the below recipe I used peanuts without skin (blanched) but it can be prepared with peanuts with skin too. When using peanuts with skin after dry roasting make sure to remove the skin before grinding. This peanut chutney is a most requested recipe and I wanted to post it without any delay. So lets get to the making!
