Peanut chutney | Groundnut chutney
Peanut chutney is a versatile and delectable condiment that has long been a staple in many South Indian households, bringing a burst of flavor and a delightful nuttiness to a wide array of dishes.
Equipment
Ingredients
For the chutney
- ½ cup peanuts
- ¾ cup water
- 3 large spicy green chilies (Thai green peppers)
- 1 teaspoon ginger root
- ½ teaspoon tamarind paste
- 1 teaspoon jaggery powder or brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
- salt to taste
For the tempering
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or any flavorless oil of your choice)
- ¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
- ¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 dried red chili
- 5 curry leaves
Instructions
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add in the raw peanuts and stir fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until lightly golden brown and crispy. Take the pan off the heat and let the peanuts cool down to room temperature.
- Add the roasted peanuts along with all the other ingredients for the chutney into a blender and blend well until you get a smooth chutney.
- Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat for tempering the chutney. When it is hot, add in the mustard seeds and let them pop. When they pop, add in the cumin seeds, dried red chili and curry leaves and turn off the heat. Stir this mixture and let it toast for about a minute before pouring this mixture over the chutney.
Notes
To make this chutney quicker, use store bought pre-roasted peanuts instead of roasting them yourself at home.
