Peanut Chutney Recipe | Quick Groundnut Chutney for Dosa & Paratha

The five-minute chutney that makes dosa, idli and paratha better — peanuts, garlic, chilli, done.
Ingredients: 1 cup roasted peanuts; 2–3 garlic cloves; 1–2 dried red chillies; salt; a small piece of tamarind or a squeeze of lemon; water; 1 tsp cold-pressed groundnut oil with cumin and curry leaves for tempering.
1. Grind the peanuts, garlic, chillies, tamarind and salt with enough water for a coarse, spoonable chutney.
2. Temper: warm the groundnut oil, splutter the cumin and curry leaves, and pour over the chutney.
3. Serve with dosa, idli or paratha — or use it as a sandwich spread.
