In a blender, combine the roasted peanuts, grated coconut, green chili, fresh ginger, tamarind pulp, and salt.
Step 3
Add half a cup of water to the blender to help the ingredients combine smoothly.

For the tempering, heat a teaspoon of oil in a small pan over medium heat.

Once the seeds pop, add curry leaves and a pinch of asafoetida. Stir for a few seconds until the curry leaves are crisp.
Step 9
Pour this tempering over the blended chutney and mix well.
