Phalahari Peanut Chutney Recipe / Phalahari Mungfali Chutney Recipe with step by step pictures.
Hi again foodie buddies. Earlier today I shared the recipe of Sabudana Thalipeeth, which are like pancakes made from sago, potato and condiments. You can check out the recipe here. I have served it with a nice, zesty peanut chutney. So I am sharing the recipe of peanut chutney that is finger-licking good! Here are a links to a couple of more chutneys for Navratri fast that I had prepared a couple of days ago.
Let’s start with the recipe of Phalahari Peanut Chutney. For the purpose of measurement, 1 cup = 250 ml.
Ingredients
- Peanuts – 3/4 cups
- Til/ Sesame – 1 tbsp
- Curry leaves – 12 leaves, chopped
- Dried red chilies – 2 (You can add red chili powder instead)
- Rock salt – to taste

- Tamarind – 2 tbsp or to taste
- Jaggery – 2 tbsp or to taste
- Oil – 2 tsp
- Water – 2/3 cup or as needed

How to Make Phalahari Peanut Chutney
- Boil the dried red chilies for 5-10 minutes till they soften. Chop them roughly once they cool off.
