Peanut Hemp Seed Chutney (No Coconut)
A creamy, nutty, protein-rich chutney made with roasted peanuts, chana dal, and hemp seeds - no coconut needed. Everything blends in one jar in under 5 minutes. Perfect with idli, dosa, pakoras, or as a spread.
Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoon roasted chana dal dalia
- 2 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1-2 green chilies
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro loosely packed
- 8 fresh mint leaves optional
- 1½ tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 3 ice cubes
- 2-3 tablespoon chilled water as needed
Instructions
- Add all ingredients - peanuts, chana dal, hemp seeds, green chilies, ginger, cilantro, mint, lemon juice, salt, ice cubes, and chilled water, into a blender jar.
- Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a splash more chilled water if too thick to blend.
- Taste and adjust - more lemon for brightness, salt, or an extra chili for heat. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Always smell your hemp seeds before blending - fresh ones smell mildly nutty, rancid ones smell sharp and sour. One bad seed can ruin the whole chutney. Same with peanuts, and chana dal.
- Start with 1 green chili and add more after tasting - heat levels vary widely.
- Ice cubes are key to keeping the chutney a vibrant green color.
- Add chilled water one tablespoon at a time to control consistency.
- Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir before serving as it may thicken.
