Ingredients
½ cup chopped green chillies (I used combination of spicy and mild varieties)
¼ cup roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
Salt to taste
5 to 6 garlic pods (optional)
Instructions
Cut the chillies in to bits so that it is easier to grind in stone.
Heat oil and add cumin seeds
Once the seeds splutter, add the green chillies and sauté for a good 5 minutes.
Add garlic (if using) and roasted peanuts and sauté further for 2 or 3 minutes.
Crush all in mortar and pestle / stone grinder / pulse in a mixer to a coarse paste.
Notes
You can use fully spicy or fully mild spicy green chillies
You can add garlic if you want
You can powder roasted peanuts coarsely and add it at then end while blending the chillies.
