Boiled Peanut snack (Sundal)

This is quite a common road side food/snack in south india.   Boiled peanuts are very healthy compared to the toasted ones.  Shelled peanuts are best but we dont get it all the seasons so you can go with the dried ones.  I had made it as prasadam on one of the navarathiri evenings and one of our friend asked me to post the recipe here.

What you need?     

Dried peanuts - 1 cup
salt -about 2 tsp
Turmeric-1/4 tsp

How to make?

Wash and soak peanuts for couple of hours (4 hrs) to help with cooking it faster. 

Wash the soaked peanuts again, add little turmeric and a tsp of salt and pressure cook for 4-5 whistles in a regular cooker or for about 35 minutes in insta pot high pressure cooking code. 

Allow the pressure cooker to cool.  Drain the water just before using them, or they tend to become very dry.

Drain most of the water leaving about 1/4 cup on it.

Shred green chillies, coconut and mango if using and keep it ready.

Heat oil, add mustard and allow it to pop, add hing, curry leaves and the boiled peanuts.

Add the shredded green chillies/mango and coconut and mix well.

It is ready to be served.   This is one of my kids favorite snacks after school.
