Notes
- You can skip garlic if you want but if you are a garlic lover like us so add it.
- Adding tamarind gives a slightly tangy taste to the chutney as peanuts gives a sweet taste.
- Also adding 2 red chillies is apt to compensate for the sweetness. Add more if you like spicy chutney may be you can add 3 to 4 red chillies.
- I have seen some not removing skin too, its purely our preference. But I feel a slight bitter taste so always remove the skin.
