Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw peanuts
• 0.5 cup Grated coconut
• 2 units Green chilies
• 1 tablespoon Tamarind pulp
• 0.5 cup Water
• 8 units Curry leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
• 1 tablespoon Oil (preferably peanut oil)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute or low-sodium salt

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the raw peanuts to the pan and roast them for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and you can smell a nutty aroma. Keep stirring to ensure they don't burn.

Step 2

Remove the roasted peanuts from the pan and let them cool. Once cooled, remove the skin by gently rubbing them in your hands or using a clean kitchen towel. This step is optional based on preference.

Step 3

In a blender, add the roasted and skinned peanuts, grated coconut, green chilies, tamarind pulp, water, and salt substitute. Blend until you get a smooth paste. Add more water if necessary to reach the desired consistency.

Step 4

Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once the seeds start to crackle, lower the heat and add asafoetida and curry leaves. Stir quickly and turn off the heat.

Step 5

Pour the tempering over the groundnut paste in the blender and blend for a few seconds to mix.

Step 6

Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 7

Serve this low sodium groundnut chutney with your favorite South Indian dishes.
