Peanut Tamarind Chutney

Peanut Tamarind Chutney
Peanut Tamarind Chutney

Peanut Tamarind Chutney is one of my favorite recipes passed onto me by my mother. As a kid, I loved having this with plain steamed rice 🙂

This versatile chutney is really quick to make.

Serve with Idli (savory steamed cake), Dosa (Fermented crepe), Vada (fried pulses ball), Pakodas (fritters) or even as a side with main course!

 

Is Tamarind healthy?

Tamarind is a pulpy, sweet and tangy fruit, that is used extensively in Asia and South America. It’s a rich source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. In addition, it also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Why Peanuts?

Peanuts are crunchy, nutty oil seeds, whose kernels are eaten. They are a rich source of energy and contain sufficient levels of MUFA (Mono-unsaturated fatty acids). This MUFA lowers LDL (or “bad cholesterol”) and increases HDL (or “good cholesterol”).

Have I heard of Peanut Tamarind combination earlier?

Peanut and tamarind combination is very popular in South East asian cuisine. The nuttiness of peanuts and tangy flavor of tamarind goes well with many dips, sauces and marination.

Now I can’t wait to share the recipe!

  2. This chutney can be made in large quantities and refrigerated for months.
