Tomato peanut chutney recipe with step by step pictures and video. This is one of the spicy and creamy chutneys I’ve tried so far.

The aromatic, tangy and savory taste of any chutney enhances the flavors and turns even a boring or simple dish into a delicacy.

We Indians have a knack for preparing chutney using any available ingredients be it fruits or veggies. I have seen my mom do it and now I do it too. Chutneys have a distinct taste that can be used as a spread or a dip plus they also help to promote appetite and support digestion. This peanut chutney with tomato is inspired by a recipe which referred to one of my Andhra friend. I suddenly craved for a spicy side dish so I thought to try this one.

Serving And Storage:

This chutney goes well with idly, dosa, chapati, Paniyaram, uthappam , Adai etc.
It keeps well in room temperature for 2 days as there is no coconut . However I would recommend to store it in fridge to extend the shelf life.
