Peanut Coconut Chutney
Many versions are there for this delicious Palli Chutney aka Peanut Chutney. My version is more like a Peanut Coconut Chutney. I add coconut along with Peanut. You can also skip adding coconut and make it a chutney with full and full peanuts. Red Chilli adds perfect taste to this Peanut coconut chutney.
Ingredients
Peanuts - Use roasted deskinned peanuts. You can easily go with storebought ones.
Coconut - I prefer grated coconut over chopped coconut. For those days when I do not have grated coconut, I use chopped coconut. I have also tried desiccated coconut and dried coconut (kopparai), both taste good equally.
Garlic, ginger - Both add flavor to the chutney.
Dry Red Chilli - Adjust the no .of chilies as per the spiciness you prefer. I prefer red chili over green chili for this peanut chutney for its taste.
Tadka - A simple tadka with mustard, Cumin, Chilli, and curry leaves gives a nice aroma and a perfect finishing for the chutney.
How to Prepare Peanut Chutney
1) Take the Peanuts, Grated Coconut, Garlic pods, Ginger ,Dry Red Chillies in a blender.
2., Blend it into a fine paste by adding water. Adjust the salt and water consistency of the chutney.

4. Delicious Peanut Coconut chutney is now ready to serve.
