Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup diced ripe mango, 2 tbsp tamarind paste, 3 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes until the mango softens and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 1/4 tsp red chili powder and 1/2 tsp salt, then remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Step 3: While the chutney cools, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup raw peanuts and toast, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tsp curry powder and 1/2 tsp cumin powder over the peanuts, tossing to coat evenly, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
  5. Step 5: Serve the mango-tamarind chutney alongside the spiced peanuts as a flavorful snack or condiment.
