Ingredients

• 1 cup raw peanuts
• 0.5 cup fresh coconut (grated)
• 2 medium green chilies
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 8 leaves curry leaves
• 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 2 medium dry red chilies
• 0.25 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)

Directions

Step 1

Dry roast the raw peanuts in a pan over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant. This should take around 5-7 minutes. Allow them to cool completely.

Step 2

Once cooled, remove the skins by rubbing the peanuts between your palms. This step is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the roasted peanuts, grated coconut, green chilies, garlic cloves, curry leaves, tamarind pulp, and salt.

Step 4

Add water to the blender and grind the mixture to a smooth paste. Adjust the quantity of water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 5

In a small pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.

Step 6

Add dry red chilies, asafoetida, and curry leaves to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the groundnut chutney immediately with your choice of idli, dosa, or any other dish.
