Peanut, Coconut & Onion Chutney


Making dosa for breakfast is nowadays out of question.
 I am invariably late so the dosa have to be made by hubs, maid also is in a hurry and they get on each other’s nerves. So to avoid the associated problems I have started making dosas in the evening for dinner. They are eaten hot and the kids also are around plus I can take care of their thin and thick dosa orders.


One Saturday evening I made dosa but to make the chutney I ran short of coconut and green chillies. So I   made this chutney. The chutney was in great demand infact the last 2-3 dosa had to be eaten with chutnipudi and oil only.

Ingredients:

 1 small cup fresh coconut, grated
1  onion, chopped coarsely
2-3 cloves garlic
2 springs or curry leaves
1 tblsp red chilli powder (adjust as per taste)
a handful of roasted peanuts
Salt
Gooseberry sized tamarind

 Method:

1.    Put all the ingredients in the mixer and grind to the required thickness.
2.    Add water by teaspoons if needed.
3.    I had a little tempering of jeera, mustard and hing left over so I poured it on the chutney.

Take a look.  

I Served it with oats and  rava dosa.
Enjoy!!
