This is one of my favorite chutney of all times. It can be had with dosa, idly, wada and many others as well. Most popular chutney in India and can be prepared in no time. Peanut chutney can be made in several ways. Here is my version of it.

Chana dal - 1/2 tsp 

Water - couple of tbsp

Procedure:

1. Add 1 tsp of oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they begin to change color add red chillies and fry. Add peanuts and fry. 
2. Switch off the stove and add grated coconut,  tamarind paste, salt to the above and mix.
3. Blend the above in to a fine paste in a blender. Add small portions of water at regular intervals while blending to get required consistency.
