Crunchy Delight: Dry Peanut Chutney & Masala Peanut Butter Recipe

Equipment Required 

  • Atomberg Mixer Grinder
  • Roasting pan
  • A wooden Spoon
  • Mixing bowl
  • Air-tight glass container

    Method of Preparation

    • Begin by dry roasting 500 grams of peeled peanuts in a roasting pan over medium heat. 
    • Stir them frequently to ensure even roasting. 
    • Roast the peanuts until they turn golden brown and emit a fragrant aroma, typically 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to over-roast them, as this can affect the taste of the chutney.
    • Once the peanuts are roasted, transfer them to a mixing bowl. 
    • Add salt to taste and 1-2 teaspoons of chilli powder, depending on your spice preferences. Adjust the amount of chilli powder according to your desired level of spiciness.
    • Roast 5-7 cloves of garlic until they are lightly browned and aromatic. You can do this by placing the cloves in the same roasting pan used for peanuts and roasting them for a few minutes until they soften and develop a roasted flavour.
    • Add the roasted garlic cloves to the mixing bowl containing the peanuts, salt, and chilli powder. 
    • Mix all the ingredients well to ensure that the flavours are evenly distributed.
    • Transfer the mixture to the Atomberg Mixer Grinder.
    • Use the "Coarse Mode" to grind the mixture to a coarse texture. This helps achieve the traditional silbatta-like texture, reminiscent of home-style cooking, enhancing the overall taste and mouthfeel of the peanut chutney.
    • Once the chutney is ground to the desired texture, transfer it to an air-tight glass container. 

    To make the Masala Peanut Butter, all you need to do is follow an extra step.

    • Take half of the coarse peanut chutney mixture that you prepared earlier.
    • Place it in the Atomberg Mixer Grinder.
    • Gradually add oil while grinding until you achieve the desired creamy and spreadable consistency.
    • Continue grinding until the mixture transforms into a smooth and buttery paste.
    • Transfer the masala peanut butter to a clean and dry container.
    • Store it in the refrigerator to preserve its freshness and flavour for longer period of time.
