Shengdanyachi Amti- Maharastrian Peanut curry

    This Shengdanyachi Amti is a Maharastrian Peanut  curry. This is a fasting curry as there was no onion or garlic. I followed Tarla Dalal's recipe to make this curry. Another version of this curry uses kokum which gives a light brown colour and tanginess to curry.

  This authentic Maharastrian amti was delicious and goes well with plain rice. It was a easy and quick recipe to make if you had the ingredients required.

 For this month's Ssshhh secretly cooking , we are making dish from Maharastra . My partner Priya Suresh of Priya's Versatile Recipes gave me Peanuts and coconut as my secret ingredients.
