Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw peanuts
- 0.5 cup fresh coconut (grated)
- 2 medium green chilies
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 8 leaves curry leaves
- 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 2 medium dry red chilies
- 0.25 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
Instructions
Dry roast the raw peanuts in a pan over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant. This should take around 5-7 minutes. Allow them to cool completely.
Once cooled, remove the skins by rubbing the peanuts between your palms. This step is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.
In a blender, combine the roasted peanuts, grated coconut, green chilies, garlic cloves, curry leaves, tamarind pulp, and salt.
Add water to the blender and grind the mixture to a smooth paste. Adjust the quantity of water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
In a small pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.
Add dry red chilies, asafoetida, and curry leaves to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds.
Pour the tempering over the groundnut chutney paste and mix well.
Serve the groundnut chutney immediately with your choice of idli, dosa, or any other dish.
