Recipe
1
Dry roast the raw peanuts in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, then set aside to cool.
2
In the same pan, roast the dry red chilies, cumin seeds, and garlic cloves with a few drops of oil until aromatic.
3
Transfer the cooled peanuts, roasted chilies, garlic, cumin, tamarind, and salt into a mixer grinder.
4
Blend into a coarse, vibrant red paste by adding a tiny splash of water, creating the authentic palli karam chutney.
5
Heat a seasoned cast-iron griddle over medium flame and pour a ladleful of dosa batter, spreading it evenly in circular motions into a thin crepe.
6
Drizzle a teaspoon of sesame oil around the edges and over the surface of the dosa.
7
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the prepared palli karam paste onto the center of the dosa and spread it evenly across the surface.
8
Cook until the bottom turns deeply golden and crisp, then fold it over and serve piping hot with coconut chutney.
