    How To Make Groundnut Chutney Powder?

    step 1

    Take a pan. Heat it and put Groundnuts in it. Roast nuts in low flame for 5 minutes. Keep it stirring occasionally.  Take it out on a plate and put it aside.

    step 2

    Put oil on the pan. Once oil gets hot, add Cumin Seed (Jeera) in it. Keep it stirring.

    step 3

    When Cumin Seed (Jeera) is roasted , add Red Chilies (lal Mirch) and keep it stirring.

    step 4

    Once the Red Chilies (lal Mirch) color slightly changes , add  Curry leaves (Karipatta) and keep it stirring continuously as Curry leaves (Karipatta) get burnt easily. We have to dry those leaves but they should not get burnt.

    step 5

    Add Garlic (Lehsun) and keep it stirring for 1 minute.

    step 6

    Add roasted Groundnuts and keep it stirring continuously till all nuts get roasted in the oil.
