Ingredients: 1 cup Raw peanuts with skin 1 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp split black gram (urad dal) 1-2 dried red chillies 1/8-1/4 tsp turmeric Pinch of asafoetida 4-5 curry leaves 1-2 tbsp coconut, freshly grated (frozen works too, but fresh is recommended) Salt to taste

Method: * Soak the peanuts for 1 hour in water. * Pressure cook it with turmeric for 1 -2 whistles until soft. You can do it likewise on a stove top too. I think it takes around 30 minutes. * Drain the peanuts well and set aside. * In a skillet in little oil, pop the mustard seeds. Then add in the lentil along with dried chilli and asafoetida. * Add the curry leaves, coconut, peanuts along with salt. * Give it a quick mix until well combined. Stir gently for another minute or 2. * Serve. A simple salad.
