Onion Peanut Chutney | How to make Onion Peanut Chutney | Vengaya verkadalai chutney - Naughty Little BEES Kitchen

This Onion Peanut chutney is loaded with protein which is good for your little ones. This goes well with Idli or dosa. It has such a lovely color which can attract kids easily. I used byadgi red chili which also called as Bangalore red chilies for the lovely color as well as mild spiciness. I used shallots in this recipe to enhance the taste.

2. If you use roasted nuts then skip step1
3. You can even grind this chutney with peanuts skin also. It tastes good even with the skin.
4. If your tamarind is hard then soak it in hot water & use it while grinding the chutney.
