Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw peanuts
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 2 pieces Dried red chilies
- 1 piece Green chili
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Tamarind pulp
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Oil (for tempering)
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 6 pieces Curry leaves
- 1 pinch Asafoetida (hing)
Instructions
Heat a pan over medium heat and dry roast the raw peanuts until golden and aromatic, about 5 minutes. Let them cool, then remove the skins by rubbing them between your palms (optional).
In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the dried red chilies, green chili, and garlic cloves. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat.
In a blender, combine the roasted peanuts, sautéed chilies and garlic, tamarind pulp, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, adjusting the water for your desired consistency.
For the tempering, heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add the curry leaves and a pinch of asafoetida. Sauté briefly, about 30 seconds.
Pour the tempering over the peanut chutney and mix well.
Serve the Ultimate Peanut Chutney fresh with dosa, idli, or even as a dip for vegetables or bread.
