Ingredients

• 1 cup raw peanuts
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 pieces dried red chilies
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup water
• 10 pieces curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon asafoetida

Directions

Step 1

Begin by roasting the raw peanuts in a pan over medium heat. Stir continuously to avoid burning until they are golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly.

Step 2

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat over medium flame. Add the dried red chilies and garlic cloves. Sauté until the chilies are crisp and the garlic is aromatic, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the roasted peanuts, sautéed chilies, garlic, tamarind paste, salt, and 0.5 cup of water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if necessary to achieve a spreadable consistency. Transfer the blended chutney to a bowl.

Step 4

For the tempering, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and wait until they start to splutter.

Step 5

Add the curry leaves and asafoetida to the spluttering mustard seeds, then quickly remove from heat to avoid burning.

Step 6

Pour the tempering over the groundnut chutney and mix it well.

Step 7

Serve the chutney with your favorite dishes such as dosa, idli, or as a dip for snacks.
