Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw peanuts
- 0.5 cup grated coconut
- 2 pieces green chilies
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon asafoetida
- 2 pieces dried red chilies
Instructions
Heat a pan over medium flame and add the raw peanuts. Roast them until they are golden brown and aromatic, stirring continuously to prevent burning. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the peanuts from the pan and let them cool down a bit. Once cooled, rub them between your hands to remove the skin, then keep them aside.
In a blender, combine the roasted peanuts, grated coconut, green chilies, ginger, tamarind paste, salt, and half a cup of water. Blend the mixture until you achieve a smooth consistency, adding more water if necessary to reach your desired texture.
For the tempering, heat vegetable oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them crackle.
Once the mustard seeds crackle, add cumin seeds, asafoetida, and dried red chilies. Stir for about 30 seconds then add the curry leaves.
Remove the tempering from heat and pour it over the groundnut chutney. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
Taste the chutney and adjust the salt if necessary. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
