Ingredients

• 1 cup raw peanuts
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2 medium green chilies
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/8 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
• 1/4 teaspoon optional salt substitute (potassium chloride)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a dry pan over medium heat and roast the raw peanuts until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir continuously to prevent burning. Remove peanuts from the pan and allow them to cool.

Step 2

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter for a few seconds.

Step 3

Add the chopped green chilies, slit lengthwise, and sauté until they are slightly blistered.

Step 4

Add the garlic cloves and ginger piece, sautéing until the raw smell disappears. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 5

In a blender, combine the roasted peanuts, cooled sautéed mixture, fresh cilantro leaves, lemon juice, water, turmeric powder, and asafoetida. Blend until you achieve a smooth chutney consistency.

Step 6

If using, add the optional salt substitute and blend again. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as desired, keeping in mind low sodium guidelines.

Step 8

Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl or jar. Serve with dosa, idli, or as a dip with vegetables.
