Hayley's Tips
- You can either use roasted peanuts or raw peanuts.
- Use pink peanuts for this chutney.
- You can leave the skin on the peanuts for this recipe.
- Instead of lemon juice, you can use citric acid.
- For extra tanginess, add more lemon juice.
- Once washing the chillies ensure you dry them thoroughly. This increases the shelf life of the chutney.
- To tone down the spiciness, mix some chutney with yogurt.

I always have a jar of Rajkot's famous green chutney in my fridge because it goes with absolutely everything. It's fresh, fiery and packed with so much flavour that even a simple sandwich or snack instantly tastes better. Once you try homemade, it's hard to go back to anything else!
