Peanut onion chutney recipe
Basically I love to make different varieties of chutney for idli, dosa. So I keep hunting some interesting chutney recipes even after posting 40+ chutney recipes in my blog. I wanted to make variations in peanut chutney as Sendhil loves peanuts. This peanut onion chutney in Andhra style tastes great with idli dosa. 
I have tried Andhra style peanut chutney with coconut & peanut tomato chutney. But Peanut onion chutney without coconut was pending in my list. So I tried it last week for dosa. It was awesome. We all loved it. I am happy to include this yummy recipe in my chutney collection. I have not removed the skin of peanuts in this chutney after reading some health benefits of peanut skin HERE. So this chutney is quick and easy to make.Try this tasty side dish for idli, dosa.You will love it like us. Lets see how to make peanut onion chutney below.
