Shenga hindi or north Karnataka style peanut chutney powder recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This is a very popular chutney powder or chutney pudi recipe and is generally served along with jowar roti. This shenga hindi or peanut chutney powder is prepared using peanut, red chili, curry leaves, garlic, cumin seeds, sugar and salt.
This is a north Karnataka style peanut or groundnut chutney powder. But this chutney powder or chutney pudi is popular and familiar by name shenga hindi. You can find many more north Karnataka recipes on this website.
You can find more chutney powder recipes on this website like plain chutney powder, curry leaves chutney powder, agase chutney pudi (flax seeds chutney powder) and Flax seeds - Garlic chutney powder recipes.
Preparing home made chuteny pudi or powder is very easy and is a life saver too!! Shenga or peanuts are very tasty. I love to eat peanuts and I add them in different recipes. Peanuts are high in energy and rich in nutrients. But it is always safe to eat in moderation. There is one more south Karnataka style peanut chutney powder. I will share that recipe also soon.
I prefer home made masala powders and I have already posted udupi rasam powder, bisi bele bath powder, Mysore rasam powder, sambar powder, vangi bath powder, agase or flax seeds chutney powder and puliyogare powder recipes. Do check them as well.
I have made a video on this recipe with Kannada narration, which I have embedded it below. Kindly have a look.
