Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw peanuts
- 1 cup grated coconut
- 4 pieces dried red chilies
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pinch asafoetida
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and dry roast the raw peanuts until they are golden brown and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent burning. Set aside and let them cool.
In the same pan, add the grated coconut and roast lightly until it becomes fragrant. Transfer it to a plate to cool.
In a blender, add the roasted peanuts, coconut, dried red chilies, tamarind paste, and salt.
Gradually add water and blend the mixture to a smooth paste. Adjust the water to your desired chutney consistency.
For the tempering, heat vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add curry leaves and a pinch of asafoetida to the pan, and sauté for a few seconds until the curry leaves are crisp.
Pour the tempering over the groundnut chutney and mix well.
Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Serve the chutney with dosas, idlis, or as a dip with snacks.
