Garlic Groundnut Chutney

An easy chutney recipe that is done in under 15 minutes!! 

Surprised?? 

Well, this really gets done in under 15 minutes, given that you have some of the basic ingredients ready. 
At my home, we always have roasted and powdered ground-nuts ready. We use tis powder in other wet chutneys and some other preparations. 

The roasting, cooling, and skinning the ground-nuts is a time consuming process. The roasting should be done uniformly on medium flame. This is something you cannot hurry with. If the nuts have been roasted well, the skinning becomes an easy job. the nest step is to separate the skin from the nuts. 
We do small batches frequently, hence doesn't take too long. 

And groundnuts are a healthy vegetarian source of protein. So this is a must have. 

The dry chutney is really simple to make. 

What goes in: 


Roasted powdered groundnuts - 8 tbsp  
Garlic cloves - 8 - chopped into two 
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp 
Red chilli powder - 2-3 tbsp 
Salt to taste 


Directions

Take everything in a mixer bowl and pulse till fine and everything is mixed.Keep checking, as groundnuts could get oily if you pulse for a longer duration and you will ave an ioily mass instead of a fine dry powder.   Adjust the chilli powder and salt to suit your taste.

The dry chutney powder is ready.

This can go with Corn Dhoklas, Regular Khaman, Dhokla, on Bread, inside Roti Roll, Aloo Tikki, Vada Pav, Vegetable Fritters, Methi Paratha - with just about anything! 

Enjoy!
