Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanuts
  • ¼ cup fried gram dal
  • 2 big fat cloves garlic
  • 3 red chillies
  • ½ teaspoon oil
  • few curry leaves
  • salt / rock salt to taste

Instructions

  • I had de-skinned peanuts so used it. Roast until golden spots appear here and there, set aside.
  • Now take fried gram dal. Roast until golden, set aside.
  • Heat ½ teaspoon of oil add garlic, curry leaves and red chillies fry for 2 mins. Cool down all the ingredients completely.
  • Transfer to mixer jar along with required salt. Grind it to a slightly coarse mixture.
  • Transfer to a plate spread it to cool down. Then you can store. While grinding first grind at a stretch then pulse so that peanuts do not leave oil.
  • Serve Peanut chutney Powder for idli, dosa or with hot rice and ghee.

Notes

  • Roasting peanuts – I roast peanuts until golden spots appear. Don't over roast or they may burn and taste bitter.
  • Roasting dal – I roast fried gram dal until golden colour. This bring out flavour and makes it crunchy.
  • Cooling – I let all roasted ingredients cool completely before grinding. Hot ingredients create moisture and powder stick together.
  • Grinding – I grind at stretch for few seconds then pulse. This helps peanuts not to release oil and powder stays dry.
  • Not over grinding – I don't run mixer grinder too long. Peanut oil comes out if you grind too much and powder becomes more like a paste.
  • Storage – I spread powder on plate to cool before storing. Cool it and then store. It keeps fresh longer and stay crunchy in jar.
