Peanut chutney
Note:

  1. If you get unsalted roasted peanuts without skin , then skip the first 2 steps.
  2. Removing the skin from it doesn’t make any difference in the taste, so u can grind with the skin if u want.
  3. If you are making it frequently, then roast the raw peanuts in bulk , cool it and keep it in a air tight box.
  4. Add the water to it while grinding itself, otherwise it won’t mix up well with the peanut chutney.
