Just adding this to the blog ... Wish I could take credit for this ... But this is Garima's recipe which she was nice enough to type in email but lazy enough to go on the blog :-) ... A recipe definitely worth sharing with everyone ...

I will be making it soon and will provide feedback ...

Tomato and peanut South Indian style chutney

Ingredients (1.5 cup chutney)

3 medium sized Serrano peppers (whole)
4-5 mid size Roma tomatoes (cut in to halves or quarters)
4-5 cloves garlic (whole)
0.5 cups non roasted peanuts or more if you like the taste
Salt
Haldi

Individually take peppers, tomatoes and garlic and saute them in 1-2 tsp of oil each for about 5-7 minutes each (tomatoes may take a little longer). Leave the peppers whole else they will leave their essence in the air and bother kids. Its ok if all the things get black from a few sides Cover them half way while cooking so that they get a little soft as well.

Dry roast peanuts in a pan or oven as well. Combine all the ingredients in a mixer with a salt and haldi to your taste and Voila!!! A simple and tasty South Indian chutney is ready to eat with Idli's and Dosas.

Depending on your likeness for peanuts you can reduce the amount a little bit. The smoothness in the chutney comes with peanuts only though so you can not eliminate this ingredient.
