Ingredients
- 100 grams roasted peanuts
- 2 units green chilies
- 8 leaves curry leaves
- 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 milliliters water
- 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon asafoetida
- 1 unit dry red chili
- 1 teaspoon oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and ensure that the peanuts are already roasted. If not, roast them lightly in a pan without oil until golden.
Step 2
In a blender, add the roasted peanuts, green chilies, 5 curry leaves, tamarind pulp, cumin seeds, salt, and water.
Step 3
Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. The chutney should have a thick pouring consistency but you can adjust the water level if needed.
Step 4
Transfer the groundnut chutney to a serving bowl and set aside.
Step 5
In a small pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Step 6
Once the mustard seeds begin to pop, add the asafoetida, dry red chili, and remaining curry leaves.
Step 7
Sauté for about 30 seconds to a minute, ensuring the curry leaves are crisp yet not burned.
Step 8
Pour this tempering over the prepared chutney.
Step 9
Mix gently and serve with dosa, idli, or any of your favorite snacks. Enjoy your low-fat groundnut chutney!
