Moongfali Ki Chutney

Peanut is an amazing ingredient. Not only is it rich in essential nutrients, it is also very health for the heart. I make a conscious effort to integrate peanuts into my daily diet. This recipe demonstrates how ground peanuts can be put to good use. Moongfali (Peanut) ki Chutney is a South Indian mainstay. It is very easy to prepare and does not require a lot of ingredients. This creamy protein-rich chutney is low on the spice quotient, and has a nice nutty flavour to it. Make sure that you roast the peanuts on low flame, before grinding them. As peanuts have a mild inherent sweet taste, I have added tamarind pulp (imli) to make it more acidic and tangy. Variants include adding coconut (nariyal) or milk (doodh), which gives a wonderful white colour to the chutney. The tempering contains some aromatic spices, which just adds to the beauty of the chutney. This chutney contains little water, and has a thick consistency and smooth texture. Moongfali ki Chutney can be served with Idlis and Dosas, or can be used as a sandwich spread too. This recipe is a must-try if you want to prepare something yummy in just a few minutes.
