Ingredients
- 1 cup raw peanuts
- 1 cup grated coconut
- 4 pieces dried red chilies
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pinch asafoetida
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and dry roast the raw peanuts until they are golden brown and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent burning. Set aside and let them cool.
Step 2
In the same pan, add the grated coconut and roast lightly until it becomes fragrant. Transfer it to a plate to cool.
Step 3
In a blender, add the roasted peanuts, coconut, dried red chilies, tamarind paste, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add water and blend the mixture to a smooth paste. Adjust the water to your desired chutney consistency.
Step 5
For the tempering, heat vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Step 6
Add curry leaves and a pinch of asafoetida to the pan, and sauté for a few seconds until the curry leaves are crisp.
Step 7
Pour the tempering over the groundnut chutney and mix well.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Serve the chutney with dosas, idlis, or as a dip with snacks.
