The journey of peanuts to India is a fascinating tale, believed to have been introduced by Jesuit missionaries or through trade routes from China or the Pacific islands. Maharashtra quickly embraced this crop, becoming one of its highest growers, particularly in the Desh region. Peanuts are deeply ingrained in Maharashtrian cooking, finding their way into gravies, curries, and, most notably, chutneys. The dry peanut chutney, a local favorite, showcases the rich flavors and nutritional benefits of this humble legume.
