Instructions
To create the delectable Andhra Style Peanut Chutney, begin by placing a skillet or kadhai over medium heat. Add the peanuts along with the dry red chillies, allowing them to roast gently until the peanuts achieve a light golden-brown hue, which typically takes around 5-7 minutes. Once they are perfectly roasted, turn off the heat and set the mixture aside to cool.
Next, take a saucepan and fill it with water, bringing it to a gentle boil. Add the finely chopped tomatoes to the boiling water and let them cook for about 5 minutes. This process will help loosen the tomato skins, making them easier to peel. After the cooking time, remove the tomatoes, allow them to cool slightly, then peel off the skins and set the peeled tomatoes aside.
Now, in a mixer grinder, combine the roasted peanut and red chilli mixture, the peeled tomatoes, garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt. Add a splash of water to help with blending. Grind the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy paste, adjusting the consistency with additional water if necessary.
For the finishing touch, prepare the tempering by heating the oil in a small tempering pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the white urad dal and curry leaves, cooking them for about a minute until the dal turns golden and the curry leaves are fragrant. Carefully pour this hot tempering over the prepared chutney, mixing well to incorporate all the flavors.
Your Andhra Style Peanut Chutney is now ready to be served! This chutney not only pairs beautifully with Ghee Roast Dosa but also complements idli, uttapam, and can even be enjoyed as a dip with your favorite snacks.
