Mornings at mom’s house,
Tips to make perfect peanut chutney:
- A good peanut chutney depends on how well you roasted the peanuts.
- Always dry roast peanuts on low flame and in a thick bottom vessel only.
- Stir the peanuts up and down while roasting. Ensure the peanuts are getting roasted evenly.
- Perfectly roasted peanuts turn crisp and crunchy.
- For good taste of chutney, always remember to rub off the skin of roasted peanuts.
How long does peanut chutney last in the fridge?
Peanut Chutney made this way stays fresh for 2-3 hours only. If peanuts are fried in oil, then the shelf-life of chutney will be for 1-2 days upon refrigerating. But, I strongly recommend you to make required quantity of peanut chutney and don’t refrigerate leftover.

Instructions
How to make Peanut Chutney
- Dry roast peanuts on low flame in a heavy bottom cooking vessel by turning up and down, frequently using a wooden spatula.
- Dry roast till skin of peanuts turn nice brown. You need to keep an eye while roasting peanuts, otherwise they turn brown soon and you end up with burnt peanuts.
- Take off peanuts on to a plate and leave them to cool. Once they are cool enough to handle, take peanuts in your hands and rub gently, by rubbing your palms. You can also use kitchen towel to rub the skin off the peanuts.
- Make a small slit on green chilies and fry by adding a tbsp. of oil to a heavy bottom cooking vessel or kadai. Fry till brown spots start to appear on chilies.
- Remove into a mixer jar and add roasted peanuts along with roasted cumin powder.
- Grind until coarse. Now add salt and little water and grind till smooth paste.
Tempering peanut chutney
- For tempering, add oil to a pan and when it heats up add mustard seeds, cumin and fry on low flame.
- When the cumin seeds start to splutter, add garlic and dry chili.
- For a minute and add curry leaves. Fry till curry leaves start to turn crisp.
- Turn off the flame and carefully pour this over ground chutney.
- L½ast but not least add your 'love' to make the dish 'YUMMY'.
Notes
Lubna's Serving Suggestions:
You can serve this peanut chutney with any idli, dosa, vada, pongal, upma, etc;
When in hurry, I will not add temper the chutney. I call it as plain chutney. This plain chutney tastes best when served with semiya upma and millet pongal.
