Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Grated coconut
- 1 medium Green chili
- 0.5 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Tamarind pulp
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 6 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 pinch Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Oil
Instructions
Begin by gathering all the ingredients for easy access, and make sure your peanuts are roasted and peeled.
In a blender, combine the roasted peanuts, grated coconut, green chili, fresh ginger, tamarind pulp, and salt.
Add half a cup of water to the blender to help the ingredients combine smoothly.
Blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and slightly thick consistency. If needed, add more water gradually, taking care not to make the chutney too runny.
Taste the chutney and adjust salt or spice according to your preference. Set the blended chutney aside.
For the tempering, heat a teaspoon of oil in a small pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil. Let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Once the seeds pop, add curry leaves and a pinch of asafoetida. Stir for a few seconds until the curry leaves are crisp.
Pour this tempering over the blended chutney and mix well.
Serve the delicious low-fat peanut chutney as an accompaniment to dosas, idlis, or any other dishes of your choice.
