Ingredients

• 1 cup raw peanuts
• 0.5 cup fresh coconut, grated
• 3 pieces dry red chilies
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
• 2 tablespoons coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon husked black gram (urad dal)
• 8 leaves curry leaves

Directions

Step 1

Heat a pan over medium flame and dry roast the raw peanuts until they turn golden brown. Remove from heat and let them cool. Then, remove the skin by rubbing them between your palms.

Step 2

In the same pan, dry roast the dry red chilies for 1-2 minutes until they release their aroma. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a blender, add the roasted peanuts, red chilies, grated coconut, minced ginger, chopped garlic, tamarind pulp, coriander leaves, and salt. Add water gradually and blend into a thick, smooth paste. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.

Step 4

For the tempering, heat vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds.

Step 5

Once the mustard seeds begin to splutter, add the urad dal and sauté until it turns golden brown.

Step 6

Add curry leaves and sauté for a few more seconds.

Step 7

Pour the tempering over the prepared chutney and mix well.

Step 8

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
