Chutney is one of the quite essential sidedishes we make to go with idli, dosa, paniyaram or even snacks like bajji, pakora etc. Sidedishes especially like chutneys on the side can make even any boring dish tasty.
This peanut chutney with tomato is inspired by a recipe which referred to andhra style chutney. I suddenly craved for a spicy sidedish so thought to try this. I did refer to few recipes but came up with this version to suit my tastebuds and preference.
The measures are very important in this chutney as you need to balance the tanginess as we are adding both tomatoes and tamarind.
