Spicy Peanut Garlic Chutney Powder

I love making peanut chutney and powder especially it is very yummy and tasty to eat with dosas. I always asked my Mom to prepare the peanut chutney, whenever she used to make dosa. What more to tell, whatever my Mom makes it used to taste so good...miss her a lot. :-( She makes simple recipes tastes so good, can never replace Mom with anyone or anything. Hats off to all the Mom's in this world!

Ingredients:
------------
1/4 cup Peanut
7-8 Dry Red Chili
4-5 pods of Garlic
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
1 tbsp Tamarind paste
Salt to taste


Method:
---------
1. In a pan dry roast each ingredient separately and allow it to come to room temperature except salt and tamarind.
2. In a mixer add all the ingredients and grind it to a coarse powder.

3. Very simple and easy right. The same recipe if you add water to it, you can make chutney of it.

4. I served this chutney powder with Quinoa Chick Peas Dosa.

Quinoa Chick Peas Pesarattu

Hmm....is this my Event that I announced for myself ?? Now sound like that to me...as I received only two recipes till now. :-(  Didn't wanna loose hope...so am trying new recipes myself and adding it to the event.

Good for me right!!

The previous day night I soaked these chick peas without thinking about any recipe for the next day. The very next day...we decided to leave early for shopping, so just made some quick breakfast and rinsed off the chick peas and kept it in the fridge and didn't use it.

The next day, I washed the chick peas again and didn't know what to make....so came up this quick idea...as because, quinoa does not need much of a soaking time. 

Here is another recipe for my own blog event! Ha ha...

Ingredients:

-------------

1 cup Quinoa washed and soaked in water for about 20 mins

1/2 cup Chick Peas soaked overnight or in hot water for about 1-2 hrs

1 small Onion chopped

1 Green Chili

1/4 inch Ginger

1/2 tsp Cumin seeds

Salt and Pepper to taste

Oil or Ghee as needed (I didn't use any :))

Method:

-----------

1. In a mixer add the quinoa, chick peas, green chili, salt and pepper, cumin and ginger and grind to a fine paste adding enough water to make a thick dosa batter.

2. Mix the onions into the batter until well incorporated.

3. Heat a dosa tava or pan and when it's medium high hot add a ladle of batter and spread it like a thick dosa.

4. Flip it once the bottom of the pesarattu turn golden brown and spread 1/4 tsp oil or ghee if you want to.

5. Cook the other side too and repeat the steps to make as many as you need.

6. I served these pesarattu with Spicy Peanut Garlic Chutney Powder. You can serve with your choice of chutney or chutney powder or sambar.
