Peanut Chutney

Chutney of any kind have always been my favourite. You can just whip it in no time and serve it with idli or dosa and be done with your breakfast routine. This chutney uses Peanuts - you can either use raw peanuts or roasted one. Roasted peanuts has one step lesser!

Similar to Coconut Chutney, all you gotta do is replace the coconut with peanuts.
