Peanut chutney | Groundnut chutney is a quick and tasty nut-based side dish for South Indian tiffin varieties. Peanut chutney is a perfect blend of tangy, spicy, and nutty flavors. With less than 5 minutes of cooking, this Indian vegan side is perfect for a busy morning.

Why peanut chutney?

Peanuts are very good for health, so this groundnut chutney is not only quick but also healthy. Traditional groundnut chutney requires roasting peanuts on a low flame, but I used store-bought unsalted roasted peanuts. Usually, I keep Idli and start making this chutney. Before Idli is steamed, we can make this peanut chutney. Onion and tomato give an amazing flavor for road kadai thanI chutney.

What kind of peanuts should I use for the verkadalai chutney recipe?

Traditionally, peanuts with skin are roasted in a low flame for 4-5 minutes, and we prepare chutney. For this peanut chutney recipe, I have used roasted unsalted peanuts, which saved time. You can also use salted peanuts, but adjust the salt accordingly. If you are using store-bought peanuts, check the ingredients to make sure the roasted peanuts do not contain corn syrup or any additional additives. Avoid using raw peanuts; always use roasted peanuts for verkadalai chutney.

ALWAYS USE RIPE TOMATOES

Ripe tomatoes make the best road kadai thani Chutney. Avoid raw tomatoes. The spiciness of the chilies with sour tomatoes makes the chutney tasty

Can I make it spicy?

Traditionally, road kadai peanut chutney is spicy. To make it kid-friendly and suitable for our taste, I generally add less spice.

Can I skip garlic?

Yes, garlic is optional, but it gives a nice flavor to the peanut chutney. Also, it helps with digestion. You can add 1 garlic if you don’t prefer a strong garlic flavor.

What’s the shelf life of verkadalai chutney?

Stays Good for 3 days. I would recommend refrigerating for better shelf life

How to make peanut chutney without coconut

Heat peanut oil in a pan, then sauté red chilies, cumin seeds, onion, and garlic until the onion becomes translucent.

Add tamarind, chopped tomatoes, and salt into the pan. Continue sautéing until the tomatoes soften and turn translucent.

Add the roasted peanuts to the mixture, stir well, and let it cool.

Transfer the cooled mixture to a blender and grind once. Add 1/2 cup of water and grind again to achieve a smooth consistency. Repeat with another 1/2 cup of water.

Transfer the blended chutney into a serving bowl and add water, adjusting for the desired texture.
Heat coconut oil in a small pan. Splutter mustard seeds, urad dal, red chili, and curry leaves for tempering.
