    Easy peanut curd chutney recipe, aka farali peanut chutney recipe, a perfect side/condiment for flatbreads and others tiffin items!

    I am back with another easy chutney recipe like the roasted gram chutney, and this time, it’s the farali peanut chutney. Farali means feasting, and this peanut curd chutney is typically made during vrat/auspicious or fasting days.

    It’s a super simple recipe and a beginner-friendly and bachelor-friendly recipe. First, we roast the peanuts, add cook ginger, chili, and cilantro, and let it cook in the residual heat. Then grind it with yogurt.

    • 📖 Recipe

    It’s more like South Indian style pachadi; you can call it verkadalai pachadi too. :-) If you use store-bought roasted peanuts, there is no cooking involved too.

    Note: As I mentioned in the buckwheat dosa recipe, in our household, we don’t fast during Navratri, and I learned about the grains that we can consume during this fast from my friends. Please use the ingredients as per your custom. 

    Ingredients required

    You need only a handful of ingredients for this chutney. 

    Peanuts: It’s the key ingredient, and I have used peanuts with skin. You can use skinned ones, too and if using store-bought roasted ones, make sure to use unsalted ones.

    Yogurt: We don’t add any water to grind; instead, we use yogurt. I have used whole milk yogurt. You can use reduced-fat yogurt or plant-based yogurt of your choice. 

    Rock salt: Typically, rock salt or sendha namak is used to season the farali or fasting food. If you are not making this for fasting, use the salt of your choice.

    Peanut oil or ghee: This is optional. I have used a little oil to roast the peanuts. You can roast it without oil too. Use oil of your choice if you are not making it for fasting.

    Along with these ingredients, I have also used cilantro, ginger, green chili, and cumin seeds to flavor the chutney. Please check the recipe card for measure details.

    Dietary specifications and serving suggestions.

    This farali peanut chutney is a gluten-free, vegetarian recipe. You can very use plant-based yogurt for a vegan version.

    I always make a small batch as required, and I have never stored this chutney for more than one day.

    While you can serve this chutney with sabudana vada, sabudana khichdi, vrat ki roti, paratha, you can also serve this with idli and dosa.

    How to make farali peanut chutney

    • Heat a pan or kadai and add ½ tsp oil. When the oil is hot, add the peanuts and roast for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the skin browns slightly.

    • Now add the cilantro, green chili, and ginger. Saute for a minute and turn off the heat. The cilantro will wilt in the residual heat. 
    adding ginger and cilantro
    • Let this mixture cool and transfer it to a mixer jar. Add the cumin seeds. Pulse coarsely without adding any water.
    add it to the mixer jar and let it cool
    • Then add the yogurt and salt.
    adding the yogurt
    • Grind it, transfer it to a serving bowl, and serve it with roti or sabudana vada or dosa. I served it with my buckwheat dosa.

    Recipe notes

    • Adjust the green chili and salt to taste.
    • You can also roast cumin with peanuts. Add it along with cilantro, chili, and ginger. 
    • I haven’t tried this chutney with plant-based yogurt. You can try peanut curd or other curds that are allowed during fasting.
    • I usually don’t remove the peanut skin. If you don’t prefer, you can remove the skin. Let the roasted peanuts cool and rub them with your hand to remove the skin.
    • If using store-bought roasted peanuts, make sure to use unsalted ones, and you can grind all the ingredients without roasting (including cilantro, chili, and ginger).
