    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.
