Peanut coconut chutney with red chillies and a hint of garlic flavour. Perfect side dish for idli, dosa and other south Indian chutneys. Easy to prepare as peanuts are added with skin.
I prepare this chutney without coconut usually which I learnt from my co-sister. It is first peanut chutney that I made successfully. So I always make it that way. It is smooth and creamy that I at times have it as such too. Vj loves that as well.
When I shared ragi kara kozhukattai, many of you were attracted by the chutney I served along. So thought of posting that I made with coconut for the first time and it was really tasking great too. Especially with the kozhukattai. But after that, I made for idli dosa too, it was perfect. As I mostly make coconut chutney with chana dal or pottu kadalai, this peanut coconut chutney was a welcome change and refreshing menu.

Unlike the other version I posted without skin, this chutney is prepared with skin, so no pain of getting rid of the skin. If you have roasted peanuts, then you can make in a jiffy. Usually I oven roast the peanuts and store, so it is always handy for me to make this chutney. How tasty it is with soft, pillowy idli! You can't keep count at all how many dosa you will eat.
