Swapna, this recipe is totally dedicated to you.
I never imagined myself eating idli or dosa without sambhar.
The idea always appalled me till the time I tasted the most yummy peanuts
chutney made by my friend Swapna who is a Telagu Brahmin. A regular breakfast
for her is idli or dosa with peanuts chutney and I always ended up eating more
than half of her breakfast every morning.
I noted down the recipe from her and tried it at home. Now
this deadly combination is a regular breakfast option in my family as well.
Ingredients:
1.
Peanuts – 1/2 cup
2.
Garlic cloves – 5-6
3.
Whole dried red chilies – 2-3
4.
Curd (optional and does not go in authentic
recipe) – 2 serving spoons
5.
Salt to taste
6.
Curry leaves – 4-5
7.
Mustard seeds – ½ tea spoon
8.
Oil – ¼ table spoon
9.
Chaat masala (optional and does not go in
authentic recipe) – ½ table spoon
Method:
1.
Take a pan and dry roast peanuts with garlic
cloves and dried red chilies for about 3-5 mins on low flame. Keep stirring in
between.
2.
When peanuts turn a dark red color, remove them
from flame and add to the grinder.
3.
Put salt and chaat masala (optional) to this
along with 2 spoon water and grind.
4.
Check for the consistency and add water or curd
(add either chaat masala or curd. Do not add both as it will make chutney extra
tangy) to adjust the consistency and grind it to a fine paste.
5.
Heat oil in a ladle and add mustard seeds and curry leaves to it. Once they splutter, add this
tampering to chutney.
Enjoy with idli or dosa for your breakfast.
