Shengdanyachi koot - How to make peanut powder

peanut powder in a bottle
Shengdanyachi koot or peanut powder recipe - I adore the Maharashtrian cuisine which is very unique and distinct. Many dishes are prepared using peanut powder as key ingredient. I have been making peanut powder based dishes for the past several years. So, I store home made peanut powder and use them as and when required. This powder is essential for dishes like bharli vaangi, bharli mirchi, bharli bhindi, bhrali karli, bharli dhodka, sabudanyachi khichdi, sabudana batata thali peeth, sabudana batata vada, kande pohe, susla, shengdanyachi chutney etc.

Malvani chana curry recipe - Malvani chickpea curry

Maharashtrian style chickpea curry in serving bowl
Malvani chana or brown chickpea curry recipe - I am a great fan of all malvani dishes, which are very popular in Maharashtra. I have prepared this Malvani chana curry  in a  pressure cooker with store bought malvani masala. If you don't get Malvani masala in your area, you can use some chole masala readily available in the grocery store. This curry goes well with hot steamed rice, ghee or jeera rice, rice or jawari roti, chapati, phulka or any other Indian flat breads.
