Peanuts Chutney
Ingredients:
1 cup Peanuts (regular measuring cup)
2-3 tsp Oil
½ tsp Cumin
½ tsp Mustard Seeds
5-7 Curry Leaves
10 – 12 Green Chilies slit into two (adjust to your spice level)
2-3 Cloves of Garlic
Turmeric
Salt to taste
1 small Lime juiced
Preparation:
Dry roast the peanuts and remove the skin. If you wish, can leave the skin as it is. Grind to powder using a spice grinder. Powder need not be fine as we will be grinding it with spices again. I grind it to powder as it is easier to wet grind it later on with rest of the ingredients.
In a pan, heat some oil and add cumin and mustard seeds. Once they start sputtering, add curry leaves and green chilies. Be careful here, green chilies might pop up and if required, cover the pan.
Once the chilies change color, add cloves, turmeric and fry for a minute. Add peanut powder and remove from fire. Add salt to it and let it cool.
Grind to fine paste by adding some water and also the lime juice.
If one wishes, the chutney can be tempered with some oil, cumin, mustard seeds, red chilies and turmeric powder. I skip this step.
Garnish with cilantro.
