Groundnut/Peanut-Onion Chutney
I love adding peanuts to my chutney not only they bring the flavor but they taste awesome. Just one bite wont be enough for me. I always make at least 2 variety of chutney one with coconut based and another without coconut based. It goes very well with dosa,idly and even tamarind based kuzhambhu/pulusu. Its very simple to make and they taste little crunchy and urad dal dominates the crunchiness and taste super good. If you are planning to make this chutney don't omit urad dal its very very important for this chutney. Click here to get another simple version of peanut/groundnut chutney.
