Shengdana or Peanut Chutney holds pride of place in the Maharashtrian thali. The best recipe comes from Solapur where peanuts grow in abundance and are added to meals and pressed into oil. Eaten around the year, it goes well with snacks like Thalipeeth (multi-grain flatbread), or even chapati-bhaaji and Varan Bhaat (dal rice). In a cuisine characterised by bold flavours, this mild, dry chutney with a nutty taste has a unique place in the Maharashtrian heart.
Provenance
Groundnut or peanut is interestingly not of Indian origin, and was most likely introduced by the Jesuit missionaries who followed Vasco de Gama, goes one theory. Another traces its path into India from China or the Pacific Islands where it could’ve been introduced from Central or South America. Today, Maharashtra is one of five major producers of the oil seed, with people of Desh (western Maharashtra) using it in foods and pressed into oil.
