Peanut Amti or Upwasachi Shengdanyachi Amti Recipe is a popular Maharashtrian recipe prepared during Navratri or on fasting days. It is also called as Shengdanyachi Amti in marathi where Shengdana means peanuts and Amti means curry.
Serve this peanut amti with steamed samo rice or samvat or varai rice (also known as barnyard millet) or with farali dosa,farali idli, farali dhirde or chilla.We also serve it with steamed sweet potatoes and mind,it really tastes fab.So you can call it as a universal side dish for almost all fasting food recipes.
It has basic ingredients like roasted peanuts or peanut powder and green chillies.One can also add red chilli powder instead of green chillies,but to my experience it tastes best with green chillies.
One can add jeera or cumin seeds also.But I don’t generally add it to fasting dishes.The spicy taste of this curry makes the fasting dish more tasty.
