Garlic and Peanut Chutney
Chutneys are a nice finishing touch to part of an Indian meal, such as appetizers, rice dishes, roti, bread, and toppings to main Indian dishes. Tangy, sweet, or spiced, chutneys are versatile condiments to add flavor to foods. A favorite condiment in the western-Indian state of Maharashtra is called shengdaana lehsun, also known as a peanut garlic chutney. There are a few variations to this particular chutney, here is one of my favorites. Chef Ravi
