An essential accompaniment to Idli, dosa, vada, or uttapam is a good chutney. I’m all about convenience so using dry roasted peanuts is a great way of decreasing the time you need to get this dish ready. I seem to always have peanuts ready on hand in my pantry as it’s a great snack in general but you can most definitely use raw peanuts. In that case dry roast the peanuts on a non stick pan and cool completely before continuing with the rest of the recipe @sarchakra
