Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup peanuts
  • 3 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 5 tablespoon freshly grated coconut
  • 4 nos red chilies
  • ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • a small Indian lemon sized tamarind
  • handful of coriander leaves

Tempering

  • 2 teaspoon oil any cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp urad dal
  • ⅛ teaspoon hing/asafoetida
  • ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder optional
  • 2 nos red chilies broken
  • few curry leaves

Instructions

  • In a kadai/pan, add a drop of oil, add peanuts and roast them in a medium flame to golden.
  • When the peanuts are half way through, add sesame seeds and coconut and roast them all together to golden. After a while the sesame seeds will start to splutter vigorously.
  • Finally towards the end add tamarind, saute it for a second or two and take it off the heat. Let all the ingredients cool well.
  • Take the well cooled ingredients in to a mixer jar, add coriander and salt to it and grind it to a coarser paste .
  • To this coarse paste add required amount of water and grind it to a chutney. The amount of water depends on the consistency you want for the chutney. I have used around 1.5 cups to 2 cups of water in this recipe
  • Transfer the ground chutney to another serving bowl. Heat a small tadka/tempering pan, heat oil, splutter mustard seeds, add curry leaves, hing, broken red chilies, hing, turmeric powder and urad dal.
  • When the urad dal turns golden brown, pour the sizzling tadka over the chutney and serve.
  • Any leftover chutney can be refrigerated upto a day and used.
