Andhra Style Peanut Chutney

By
Andhra Style Peanut Chutney is an easy and tasty chutney made with peanuts and is served popularly along with South Indian breakfast dishes. Among all the other Indian chutneys, this groundnut chutney is quite unique, given that there is no addition of coconut. You can choose to add whole peanuts or peanuts with their skin out, peanuts added without removing the skin adds a lot more fibre to the chutney, it also gives it a stronger flavour.


Andhra Style Peanut Chutney is a delicious side dish with idli, dosa, and uttapam. It is also called palli chutney in Andhra and you can make it with coconut too.


Ingredients:

1 cup peanuts, roasted and deskinned,
1 tomato, roughly chopped,
3-4 dry red chilies, more if you like it spicy,
¼ inch ginger,
8-10 garlic pods,


Small bunch of fresh coriander,
A small gooseberry sized ball of tamarind,
1 tbsp sesame seeds,
1 or 2 tsp oil,
Salt as required,

For Tempering:
1 tsp oil,
1 tsp mustard seeds,
Pinch of asafoetida,
8-10 curry leaves

 Method:
  1. Heat oil in a pan and fry the peanuts on a low to medium flame for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes and fry for a minute.
  3. Lastly add the roasted chana dal, sesame seeds, garlic, ginger & asafoetida and fry for 2-3 minutes more on a low flame.
  4. Take care that you don't over brown or burn this mixture.
  5. Allow it to cool down.
  6. In a blender grind this to a fine paste. Add a little water to get the desired consistency. Mix salt and blend well.
  7. Serve peanut chutney with idli, dosa, or simply mix it with hot rice.

Storage Suggestions

  • This chutney also stays for a longer time as it doesn’t have any coconut added to it; hence it’s a great tiffin option as regular coconut chutney tends to get spoilt easily.
  • You can store it in an airtight container for about a week in the fridge. 
  • If you are adding coconut to it, it will say good for 2 days in the refrigerator.

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...
