Tomato Peanut Chutney Recipe | Andhra Style Palli Chutney Recipe

March 6, 2025 | By

Sendhil loves chutneys made using groundnut. I usually make Peanut/Groundnut chutney in this way. I was looking for a Peanut/Kadlekai chutney with the combination of tomato & red chillies but without onion. I came across this recipe in Sailu’s kitchen. This tomato peanut chutney without onion tastes great for idli, dosa. 

In Andhra, this chutney is known as Palli Pachadi. I tried it by adjusting the quantity of chillies as per my family’s taste. It came out very well. Sendhil loved it a lot with hot idli. It tasted great for dosa as well. Friends, do try this chutney recipe if you are a peanut lover. You will make it very often. 
Color of this chutney may vary if you use more chillies & tomato. Lets see how to make this yummy Andhra style side dish for idli dosa – tomato palli chutney. I forgot to tell you – It’s a no onion no garlic recipe . I am happy to add this chutney to my 35 chutney recipes collection .
