Unlike coconut chutney, this chutney won’t get spoiled or rancid, so this can be easily added to the tiffin box or taken out for day trips.

How long can I store this Groundnut Chutney?

You can store this peanut onion chutney in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
Tip. While grinding, make sure not to add too much water if you want to store it for more days. More moisture means this chutney will spoil faster.
