Shengdanyachi Chutney is a dry flavorful chutney from a Maharashtrian kitchen , where peanuts are the star ingredient. The Chutney has a good shelf life.

Sheng is the maharashtrian name for peanuts and this chutney is a must in every Maharashtrian house . Each and every ingredient in this chutney has a special place in the chutney , peanuts definitely are the star ingredient . What needs special attention while making the chutney is that one should pulse the mixture in short bursts , so that the nuts do not release their oil . Make sure the mix is slightly grainy and not a powder .

I got this recipe from our blogger friend Pradnya and trust me the recipe is a total hit . The garlic lends out a amazing aroma and flavour to the chutney . I had served this chutney with the Maharashtrian spread for the theme Flatbreads and More , where I made 26 Indian Flatbreads .

When it comes to travel Food , I always like to carry some pickles and chutneys . They make a great accompaniment and since it is moderately spiced the kids too enjoy it.The Shengdanyachi Chutney is a wonderful chutney to be carried while travelling by train or by road . You could sprinkle the chutney over bread or some Paratha , you could serve it with Dhapate , like I have done . The chutney is super delicious and flavourful !
