Notes :-
----------
# After roasting the peanuts, Wait few minutes for them to cool down. This cooling process somehow
increases the chutney taste tremendously and saves the motor blade of
your mixer from melting.
# If you are using roasted peanuts proceed from step2.
# You can also use microwave for roasting the peanut. In a microwave safe bowl , add the peanuts and microwave for 4 - 5 mins. How fast the roasting process is done depends on how powerful the microwave is and the quantity of peanuts.
# Seasoning is optional. If you skip the tempering (to avoid biting into whole spices) this chutney can also be a great dip or a spread.
# Make this chutney little bit watery if you are using it for breakfast dishes. If the chutney is for rice make it little bit tight with as little amount of water as possible.
# Make it spicy, sour or hot according to your taste.
# You can use green chillies instead of redchillies or a combination of both.
# You can also use fresh lime juice instead of tamarind.
# This chutney can be refrigerated for upto a week.
