Groundnut (Peanut) Chutney

Ingredients:
1 Cup dry roasted Groundnuts1 green chilli (or to taste)
1 spoon of tamarind (raw soaked in water or paste) (can replace with lemon, gives different taste)
2 teaspoons dry coconut grated
2 cloves of garlic
1 spoon of cumin (roasted or not roasted o.k.) seeds
2 stems of coriander
4-5 Curry leaves Salt to taste (1 spoon or less)
¾ to 1 cup water (to the consistency you like)
Method:
Grind/blend all of the above ingredients in mixer/grinder.
(Garnishing with garlic, curry leaves etc. in heated oil is the normal way). But for the times we are living in, using less oil in the dishes wherever possible makes sense. So just grind all the garnishment ingredients with the chutney and it tastes as good.

This chutney goes well with Idli, Dosa, Upma and any snack items like pakoda, vada etc.
