Palli Podi/ Peanut Chutney powder

Ingredients:
Peanuts – 1 cup
Sesame seeds – ¼ cup
Garlic cloves – 2-3
Dry Red chilies – 1/3 cup
Hing – pinch
Dry coconut – ¼cup
Sugar – 2tsp
Tamarind paste – 2tsp
Salt – to taste

Method:

• Dry roast peanuts and sesame seeds separately and keep aside. I use peeled peanuts, so there is no need to peel them after roasting; but otherwise peanuts need to be peeled at this stage.
• Dry roast garlic and red chilies; let cool.
• Once all the ingredients are cool enough to handle, take them in a blender and grind them to a coarse powder.

Goes well dosa, idli or even plain steam rice with some ghee.. yummmmmmm.
