Tomato Peanut Chutney-Recipe 2

In India, chutneys are made in many ways. South India, in particular, is famous for its varieties of chutneys that are served with different breakfast dishes. If you are a Chutney fan like me, you might like my article about 11 Chutney recipes, in which I have compiled a list of Chutney recipes ranging from the popular, well-known ones to those that are not so common. However, all the chutneys taste delicious and are a must-try if you make South Indian breakfasts frequently in your home.

Today, the recipe I am sharing is Karnataka Style Tomato Peanut Chutney. This is a tangy chutney, which gets its sourness from tomatoes and richness from fried peanuts. As you can see, it is rich orange, which comes primarily from dry red chillies and tomatoes.

So, let’s go ahead and see the Karnataka Style Tomato Peanut Chutney recipe.
