Recipe: Peanut Chutney (blender or food processor) (Indian)

PEANUT CHUTNEY

"Serve this flavorful blend with rice or use it as a dip for fried snacks such as pakors and pappadam. For a variation, use roasted cashews."

1 cup shelled, skinned, roasted peanuts
1/2 packed cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
2 fresh hot green chiles, seeded and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup plain yogurt (not fat-free and preferably strained Greek-style)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor, and blend until the consistency is similar to crunchy peanut butter.

Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

Makes a little over a cup
