    Verkadalai Chutney / Peanut Chutney

    September 22, 2017 By Anlet Prince 14 Comments

    Verkadalai Chutney / Peanut Chutney is a protein rich chutney that can be served with Idli, Dosa, Upma. There are many variations in Peanut chutney. The color and taste of the chutney completely depends on the ingredients used. I am sharing my favourite Version. I have added tomatoes for tanginess. The peanut chutney is a great alternative for the regular coconut chutney. Roasting the peanuts make the peanuts crisp and brings all the taste outside.

      A decade before, peanut chutney was my favourite. I don't know why I stopped making it. Shall try it soon.

      I made peanut chutney for the first time a few days ago and absolutely love it. I now use it also on my sandwich as a spread. Its a versatile chutney.

      I too often make groundnut chutney for dosas. But I also add coconut to the chutney. This seems to be a classic recipe.
