Vaer Kadalai / Peanut Chutney

This is my Mother-in-Law's recipe. I never heard/tasted this chutney until I got married. But later came to know that it is a very common chutney.



Ingredients:


1. Roasted peanuts- 1 cup
2. Grated coconut- 2 tablespoons
3. Garlic- 1
4. Red chillies - 2
5. Salt- as needed
6. Turmeric paste- 1/2 teaspoon
7. Jaggery - a small piece


For tempering:


1. Oil - 1 teaspoon
2. Mustard seeds- 1/2 teaspoon
3. Uradh dhal- 1/2 teaspoon.
4. Curry leaves -few


Method:


Grind together all the items provided in the ingredients section into a fine paste with desired amount of water.
Before serving, temper it with mustard seeds, uradh dhal and curry leaves.


This chutney goes very well with Kuzhi paniyaram.
