Peanut sundal





There is an extremely irresistible and finger-licking sundal made by boiled peanuts and tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves and coconut but I always add the chat masala which used to make it different spicy and more tasty...this is a without onion garlic recipe which u can have during your vrat days also...:) I just love salty boiled peanuts..I can have this anytime...even without the tempering I would finish off a whole bowl. One of the easiest & healthy snacks for an lazy evening ..:)


Ingredients

1 cup raw peanuts
A pinch of turmeric
1 tsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
2 dry red chillies
Asafoetida a pinch
4-5 curry leaves
2 tbsp coconut fresh
1/4 cup chopped raw mango (Optional)

Method
Soak the peanuts for 45 min to 1 hour in water.
Pressure cook it with turmeric for 1 -2 whistles until soft. Drain the peanuts well and set aside.
Heat oil and add mustard seeds. Pop the mustard seeds. Then add in the urad dal along with dried chilli and asafoetida. saute for 1-2 min.
Then add the boiled peanuts. Add salt & coconut. Give it a quick mix until well combined. Stir gently for another 1-2 min.
Finally, add the raw mango and turn off. Do not sauté for more than a min after adding the mango..
