Recipe - Peanuts and Chana chutney

Hi again - Today I am giving u the recipe for a chutney I made on Sunday. It was not from a specific recipe - and I had never made it earlier - still I decided to go ahead with my gut feel.

Ingredients:
Shelled Peanuts - 1/2 cup
Roasted Chana (Bengal Gram) - 1/2 cup
Whole red chillies - 3
Green chillies - 2
Ginger - 1/2 inch piece
Jaggery (Gur) - size of a ping-pong ball
Tamarind - size of a ping-pong ball - soaked in water
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Vegetable oil - 1/2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Water

Method:
In a non stick pan - dry roast the peanuts on a low flame - till the aroma fills the air. Now in the same pan roast the chanas till golden in color. Follow this by dry roasting the red chillies (after breaking them into pieces)
Now put all this in a mixie, add salt, chopped green chillies and ginger. Also add the water extracted from tamarind paste. Process it till the chutney becomes very fine. If it is a bit dry - u can add a bit of water.
In a small kadhai, take the vegetable oil, add the mustard seeds till they start splattering. Now add the processed chutney and jaggery - and cook for 5 minutes or until the jaggery melts completely. If at any point of time u find that the chutney is dry - add more water.
The chutney is now ready - keep it in the refrigerator after it cools down.
The taste of this chutney is best the day after as masalas get some time to get absorbed.

PS: You can also add a tomato to ths chutney while grinding. In case u want the chutney to be a bit more sour - add 1/2 tsp on amchoor to it.
