MOONGPHALI/PEANUTS KADHI….along with almonds
We can actually say – a curd based curry, using moongphali/peanuts. It turns out very tasty and we all liked it at home. I made it to go with amaranth roti. It can also be consumed mixed with hot steaming rice. We (the people of Karnataka) also make tambuli (curd based raita kind of thing) using peanuts, but this recipe is little different from what we make. This recipe I followed from one of Mrs. Nita Mehta’s cook book. Could not post the step wise pics, but will do so very soon.
Ingredients :
- Peanuts – 1/2 cup
- Almond – 8 to 10
- Curd – 1 cup
- Water – 1 cup
- Ghee – 1 tsp
- Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
- Curry leaves – 2 strings
- Green chili – 2
- Ginger – 1/2 tbsp
- Whole red chilies – 2
PROCEDURE :
- Roast, remove the skin and grind the peanuts into a coarse powder along with almonds
- Gather curd, water, chopped green chilies, ginger paste, Peanut-almond powder and salt in a bowl and combine well
- Heat ghee, add cumin seeds, curry leaves & red chilies, when it splutter reduce the heat and add in curd mixture
- Increase the heat, keep stirring in between and cook till the mixture become thick
- Peanut-almond kadhi is ready to serve
