This peanut chutney uses onions which adds a unique aroma to the chutney. You can also add curry leaves and fried gram to this chutney. We usually do not temper peanut chutney but if you prefer you can.

How to make peanut onion chutney

1. Heat a pan with oil as needed. Saute green chilies first and then onions until the raw smell has gone. This takes about 3 to 4 mins. Set these aside to cool.

2. In the same pan, roast the peanuts on a medium heat until golden. If using curry leaves, fry them first in oil until crisp. Curry leaves add a unique aroma, if you like you can use them.

3. Switch off the stove and add garlic and cumin. Toss well. Cool these as well.

4. Add them all to a blender along with salt. If using fried gram and tamarind paste add them to the blender jar.

5. Blend them all until smooth with just enough water.
