Notes

1. Make sure to grind peanut and sesame seeds separately.

2. Peanuts require longer time of roasting than sesame seeds.

3. Remove the skin of the peanuts after roasting as much as you can.

4. Adding garlic powder adds a nice touch of flavor.

5. This chutney is the perfect condiment when traveling, as it is spicy, and stays fresh at room temperature.
