Peanut chutney with raw garlic and red chilies are made in different ways in Maharashtra. I use fresh red chilly or red chili powder to make these chutney .fresh red chilies gives nice thick texture as compare to red chilly chutney made from dry red chili powder. My mom use to soak dry red thick chilies like kashmiri mirch,  bedgi mirchi or chapata mirchi to make red chilly garlic chutney . bedgi and chapata chili varieties are mostly grown in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
