Blend peanuts and cilantro with lime juice, garlic, and enough water to reach a pourable consistency. Start with a small amount of water, then adjust; the sauce works well with noodles, roasted vegetables, wraps, or grilled food.
Peanut cilantro chutney is commonly served with Indian snacks and meals such as dosa, idli, sandwiches, and savory fritters. Its creamy texture and bright, herby flavor also pair well with raw vegetables or grilled dishes.
Yes, the rich, roasted flavor of peanuts balances cilantro’s fresh, grassy taste. Lime or lemon makes the pairing brighter, while garlic or chile adds savory heat; use less cilantro if you prefer a milder herb flavor.
Yes, you can make peanut cilantro sauce without a blender by finely chopping the cilantro and crushing the peanuts with a mortar and pestle. Stir in lime juice and water gradually until the mixture becomes spoonable.
Roasted peanuts give peanut and cilantro sauces a deeper, nuttier flavor, while raw peanuts taste milder. If you use salted roasted peanuts, taste the mixture before adding extra salt.
Store peanut cilantro sauce in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator. Fresh cilantro loses its color and aroma over time, so make a modest batch and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, peanut cilantro sauce can be frozen in small portions in an airtight container. Cilantro may darken and lose some freshness after thawing, so stir the sauce well and use it in cooked dishes if its texture changes.
Parsley can replace some or all of the cilantro in peanut sauce, though it gives a different, less distinctive flavor. Add lime juice to keep the sauce bright, and adjust the water to maintain its texture.
Peanut cilantro sauce can taste bitter if the peanuts are burnt, stale, or over-blended, or if too much cilantro stem is included. Use fresh peanuts, blend briefly, and balance the flavor with lime juice.
To make peanut cilantro sauce less spicy, leave out the chile or reduce its amount. Add more peanuts and a little water to soften the heat while keeping the sauce thick enough to serve as a dip.

Peanuts and cilantro bring together crunchy, rich-tasting peanuts and the fresh, distinctive leaves of the cilantro plant. They are not a single dish with one place of origin, but a combination used in many cuisines, from snacks and salads to sauces and noodle dishes.
The contrast works especially well with lime or lemon, crisp vegetables and noodles; toss the leaves in near the end so their aroma stays fresh. Peanuts make the pairing filling, with 19.5 g of protein per 100 g, alongside substantial fat and fibre. For a lighter salad or sauce, use a modest handful of peanuts and let the vegetables and herbs take up more of the plate.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
