Peanut or groundnut chutney

This is a quick and easy chutney for any south Indian breakfast recipe. It tastes super tasty and if I have to pick any chutney recipe, it would always be either tomato chutney or this yummy peanut chutney. A light seasoning with mustard and hing takes to an entirely new level. Do try this out with any breakfast and you will agree with me 🙂 IMG_2023-3 Some chutney recipes that I have already shared are – onion coriander chutney, capsicum chutney, onion chutney, ginger chutney, coriander chutney.

    • Hi, tamarind pulp is imli paste. Just soak imli(tamarind) in water for few minutes and squeeze the pulp.
