Heat a pan over medium flame and dry roast the raw peanuts for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and aromatic. Stir continuously to avoid burning. Once done, let them cool completely.
In a blender, combine the roasted peanuts, ginger, garlic, green chilies, coriander leaves, tamarind paste, salt, and water. Blend until you obtain a smooth, slightly thick chutney consistency. Add a bit more water if needed to adjust the thickness.
For the tempering, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the curry leaves to the skillet and sauté for a few seconds until aromatic.
Pour the tempering over the blended peanut chutney and mix well.
Serve as a side condiment or dip with your choice of dishes.
