Shengdana green (hiravi) chutney is another innovative versatile chutney from my mom’s kitchen.She used to normally prepare this chutney when she was in hurry , no time to chop vegetables or out of vegetables and need to prepare something delicious with dal-rice(varan -bhat)
We normally prepare wet chutneys with fresh grated coconut as the base with different ingredients. But in this recipe she used peanut as a base ingredient
mixed with green chillies ,cook along with onions. This is so yumm chutney that I can bet you will tempt to prepare it again and again 🙂
You can just have this chutney with chapathi replacing it with any gravy or veggies. Worth a shot – here goes the recipe.

Directions || How to prepare Shengdana chutney(green peanut chutney)

Using a tawa or skillet, roast the peanuts on medium heat until peanuts get dark brown spots on them.
Take these off the heat and allow them to cool on a tray.
Once cool, remove as much of the skin as you can by rubbing the peanuts between your hands to loosen the skin so you can dust or blow them off.
Now in a blender , add peanuts , garlic , jeera , green chillies ,salt and water.
Blend it to a coarse powder.
Heat oil in a pan , add onions and saute till it turns golden brown.
Add grounded paste to the onions,salt and saute till well.
