Peanut masala

Hemalatha Jayaraman6:00am Dec 17

This recipe is inspired by street corner cart in Chennai:)

Peanut masala:
Put a cup of raw peanuts -shelled in boiling water and cook till done. I like it with a bit of crunch, not completely mashed.
Meanwhile finely chop half small onion, tomatoes,green chillies and Coriander leaves.
grate half a cup carrot.
mix with hot boiled peanuts. Add salt, chilli powder and a dash of lemon.
Hot Healthy snack for rainy/snowy days :-)

Variation: Roast the peanuts instead...add 2 spoonfuls of grated coconut. Great snack with Chai

Substitute boiled chickpeas for peanuts, add cucumber, capsicum , radish and mint leaves. Great light lunch.
Can be served cool in summer and hot in winter
