Healthy Cranberry Peanut Chutney Recipe

Cranberry Peanut Chutney , For the very first time I bought cranberries recently and luckily they are organic and washed. When I tasted raw I found some similarities with south Indian kalakai/ Carissa carandas, so I felt it would be great to use in chutneys. Since they are tangy I skipped tomato/Tamarind and added few peanuts that made them a great combo for this chutney and tasted awesome. What else we moms need when kids enjoy the homemade healthy food like this cranberry chutney with natural attractive color :-).

Ingredients

Cranberry – 1/2 Cup
Onion – 1 Medium
Chana Dal – 1 Tbsp
Urad Dal – 1 Tbsp
Salt – As Needed

Grated Ginger – 1tsp (Optional)
Coriander Powder – 1tsp
Roasted Peanut – 1/3 Cup
Red Chilis- 2 Numbers
Red Capsicum – 1/4 Slice

Cranberry Peanut Chutney Preparation

• In a wide pan/kadai heat a tbsp of oil add roughly chopped onion, red chili, red capsicum, urad and chana dal saute for 2-3 minutes in medium flame till onion changes color.
• Now add washed whole cranberries, salt and saute in medium flame for another 4-5 minutes till cranberries turn translucent.
• Finally add coriander powder and switch off the flame.
