Peanuts – roast raw peanuts first and remove their skin then add to the grinder jar. It helps in making the texture thick and creamy. Also, imparts a nice nutty flavour to the chutney.
Yoghurt – fresh curd is added which balance out the sweetness of coconut and spicy flavour of green chilli. If you don’t want add curd can replace it with water or lemon juice.
Green chilli- gives a spicy flavour and increases the taste of chutney.
