    It is nice recipe but can we use sinthetic vinegar instead of tamarind and brown sugar instead of jaggery?

    Hi,
    Good recipe. However, it’s the first time I am noticing jaggery being used in peanut chutney. Would the chutney become too sweet, as the peanut itself is a bit sweetish. Anyway.

    BTW, I prepare peanut chutney almost the same way; but without the coconut and I use onion instead.

    I would 1st roast the peanuts & keep it aside. Then shallow fry 1 (or 2) medium sized onion (chopped). Then add all ingredients and grind them.

      Thanks for liking the recipe..You can make this chutney without adding jaggery. Adding jaggery is only optional. Adding onions instead of coconut is another method of making this chutney, which is also equally tasty.
