Instructions

Roasting the peanuts

  • Heat a cast iron pan and add the peanuts to it.
  • Roast the peanuts on low flame until you hear a few pops. You will also be able to rub off the peel easily when you rub a peanut with your finger. That s when the peanuts are roasted. This takes 8 to 10 mins on low flame.
  • Transfer to a plate and let cool.
  • To the same pan, add 2 tsp oil.

Frying other ingredients

  • Now, add channa dal, urad dal, chilis and garlic.
  • Fry these on low flame until dals turn golden.
  • Add to the roasted peanuts and allow to cool

Grinding

  • Once cool, transfer all this to a blender along with tamarind paste and salt
  • Using the pulse mode, pulse this mixture a few times.
  • Now, add the water and grind to a smooth paste.
  • Adjust consistency by adding more water if desired.

Tempering

  • Heat a small pan with the peanut oil.
  • Add the mustard and allow it to pop.
  • When the mustard pops, tip in the curry leaves and urad dal.
  • When the dal becomes golden, add the tempering to the chutney.
