Groundnut Chutney Pudi ( Powder )

Groundnut chutney powder is a spicy dry chutney-like substance which can be eaten along with dosa, idli, chapathi, and even with rice. It is famous in north Karnataka areas. The chutney prepared in those areas is extremely spicy. But here, I have decreased the amount of chillies, and so it is not that spicy. You can preserve this for more than a month. It is ideal for lunch box.

Instead of taking the trouble of preparing chutneys especially in the busy mornings, you can substitute it with this chutney pudi.
