Peanut onion chutney for idli, dosa, uthappam and most South Indian Breakfast dishes. There are a few different ways of making andhra peanut chutney, this is one such variation. Peanut chutney is one of the most made in most andhra homes to accompany breakfasts like idli or dosa.

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.

      Hi Haritha
      Not this peanut chutney, the taste completely changes after refrigeration. You can try these pudina chutney (3 days), tomato chutney(2 days), coconut chutney (2 to 3 days). Actually it is not healthy to use refrigerated chutney due to the addition of dals. it causes vata in the long run. It may lead to digestive problems. I usually dry roast half kg of peanuts in the oven. Cool and put them in a jar. I also fry some green chilies in oil until completely wilted off and put them in fridge. I make this peanut chutney without onions on most mornings for breakfast. Quick and easy to make in the mornings, no need to roast, cool etc. It is only blending the ingredients. I also make the coconut chutney the same way, using all raw ingredients – coconut, fried gram, green chilies, coriander etc. You can make these chutneys under 5 mins. Hope these help
