Peanut chutney powder / kadlekai chutney pudi..yes along with coconut chutney with dosa / idli another side that takes generous amount of space on the platter is chutney pudi. There are various variety of chutney powders are to make …but our all time favorite in our home is, this Peanut chutney powder. And also, I use this as a substitute for red cilli powder in stir fries…it does add a unique taste to the fry…
This is very quick to prepare & easy …
Ingredients :
Peanuts - 1 cup
Whole dry coriander / dhaniya - 2 table spoon
Dry coconut flakes / grated - 1/4cup
Red chilli powder - 3 table spoons
Garlic cloves - 2 or 3 (optional)
Curry Leaves - 4 to 5
Tamarind - Small chick pea sized
whole cumin / Jeera - 1 tea spoon
Salt - As per the taste
Preparation :
Dry roast the peanuts until turn little brownish & keep them aside. In the same pan dry roast coriander / dhaniya seeds, jeera /cumin seeds. Keep them aside and dry roast the grated dry coconut / coconut flakes. Now turn off the heat and add curry leaves and tamarind to the same pan (Since the pan is still hot which is enough)..let them roast on the pan.
Add Garlic cloves which is an optional (since we enjoy the flavor of garlic, I add them in chutney pudi) to the roasted ingredients along with salt and grind this mixture to a fine / coarser powder as per your preference. I prefer it to be little coarser.
And that is all you do, you can have this chutney powder with dosa / idli and also with hot steamed rice with a dash of ghee…and you just get stuck with 'M'mmm……….until the last bite !
