A video procedure is also shared for this yummy palli chutney.

This chutney is also called as verkadalai chutney or moongfali chutney in some parts of India.

I love to make variety of chutneys and since I hail from south india I love making them.

All the south indian breakfasts like idli, upma, dosa, uttapam, bondas etc… all require chutneys to be served with them and this chutney works well with all the breakfast recipes mentioned.

Eating them without chutneys is definitely not possible and therefore making chutneys with peanuts or coconut is the best way to be served.

Coconut chutney and peanut chutney can be made with many variations and hopefully I add up different variations as I keep updating.

This chutney made here uses onions, green chillies and tamarind which are cooked and added into the chutney to add more flavors to the chutney.

The peanuts are powdered and then the cooked mixture is blended along with peanuts which gives real good taste.

However, peanut chutney can be prepared in many other ways too to be served with rice or brekafast recipes…
