Peanut Chutney Powder Recipe with Step by Step pictures
The kids prefer to have their tiffin , be it idli, dosa, chapathi, with podi[Lentil spice mix]. Even when there is sambar / chutney or kurma, they always ask for Podi, especially, Lil Dude.
So naturally, I try to make Podi with most of the ingredients possible. This will give them a variety of tastes than getting used to same Podi. I make fresh batches almost every fortnight.
This time, I decided to make podi with peanuts. It is the start ingredient that I have chosen for this week and I needed recipes with it. Not just any recipe, but dishes that will be sure to get appreciation and those that will be savored.
Needless to say, this batch got over within a week and now I have to make another podi. In the mean time, I am encouraging them to get accustomed to other side dishes as well.
This peanut chutney podi is very flavorful and you can play around with the quantity of the ingredients to suit your taste.
Step by step method to make Peanut Chutney Powder Recipe
Roast the peanuts till crisp and let it cool on a plate. Similarly roast fried channa dal till the color changes a bit. Let it also cool.
Roast sesame seeds till it pops and transfer it to the plate to cool. Heat a teaspoon of oil and roast tamarind and red chili. Once the tamarind turns crisp , transfer into the plate to cool.
Once all the ingredients have cooled down,take it in a mixie jar, add salt and grind to a semi coarse/ fine powder. Let it cool down. Store in an air tight container and use as needed.
Goes well with South Indian Breakfasts like Idli , Dosa, Adai etc.

It’s nice to know that your kids like podis, they are so healthy and flavourful .
I rarely make these but will definitely try making this one , peanuts are a favourite with us .
I love this chutney podi, though we don’t normally add the fried gram, rest of it goes along with garlic..makes such a wonderful side dish..
Good thing your kids like podis. Mine don’t . I love this combo of your podi all oilseeds (except chana )high protein.
simply love this Peanut chutney powder.. I feel like make a batch for me now.. Just love it..
My kids are the same way,they need podi for idly and dosa.Flavorful podi with the goodness of peanuts and sesame seeds.
First time I tasted podi at a friend’s house and love making them ever since. This version sounds simple yet flavorful.
We have a big batch of masala peanut podi at home now, it’s readymade and my husband loves it. Will keep this recipe in mind to try once it gets over.
very flavourful – goes well with rice & idli/ dosas too !
Handy to be carried for bachlors. Healthy and filling too
Vaandu loves podi and this is a great way to sneak in peanuts. Love this idea. A great side for idli and dosa.
I can close my eyes and imagine how aromatic and flavourful this podi will be. Bookmarking for immediate use!
Also love the bowl…really cute!
I can have this chutney powder with anything, and i can survive for many days with this beautiful podi. My favourite anytime.
My daughter can live on chutney podi for years. This peanut version must be so flavourful. I need to make a batch of this. I guess this even pairs well with rice and ghee..
Never tried peanut chutney.. but after your pictures. Must b try once. Book mark
in my house, the older one is podi crazy – she puts molagai pudi / chutney pudi on Bisi bale bhath and on a cup of yoghurt too – can u beat that ??! tis podi looks v flavourful – good series with the peanuts 🙂
I too like podi with idli / dosa. Adding peanuts to this is an interesting idea. Will try this.
