Peanut curry leaves chutney/ peanut chutney recipe

Peanut curry leaves chutney recipe with step by step pictures 


              Peanut curry leaves chutney is a sidedish for idli, dosas or as a dip for medhu vadai,  paniyaram.  Personally i like peanuts very much.  If i want to munch something while cooking,  i just go for the roasted peanuts and fried gram.  So I always have peanuts at home.  

            Whenever i want to make a sidedish for dosas and feeling lazy to grate coconut and chop veggies,  then i make this recipe.  I like the creamy texture of this chutney.  It has the flavor of both peanuts and curry leaves.  I have already posted Peanut chutney (groundnut chutney) recipe with onion,  tomatoes. Check it.  Hope you like the recipe and give it a try.  

Enjoy the food!
