Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup roasted and salted peanuts
  • ¼ cup finely chopped celery
  • ¼ cup finely chopped green pepper
  • 1 large tomato finely chopped
  • 1 small green chili finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon roasted cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala
  • ¼ cup finely chopped coriander leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Lemon juice to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add roasted peanuts, chopped celery, green pepper, tomatoes, and green chili in a large bowl, and stir well to mix.
  • Add oil, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and chaat masala. Mix well, taste, and add salt as required.
  • Add coriander leaves and squeeze lemon juice to taste, mix, and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Serving and Storing Suggestions

  • Serve the roasted peanut salad as a snack, side dish, or appetizer. If you like extra zingy salad, squeeze more lemon juice before serving.
  • Add some green chutney and tamarind chutney to make it delicious chaat.
  • Sprinkle some fine Sev and pomegranate seeds on the salad before serving.
  • This salad is best served soon after making it. But if you have leftover salad, store it in the refrigerator for a day. The peanuts will become soft, but the salad will still be delicious.

Notes

  1. Peanuts: Instead of roasted peanuts, boiled peanuts can also be used. Or roast the raw peanuts on low-medium heat until they get crunchy. Then remove the skin and use them for the salad.
  2. Chaat Masala: It adds a lot of flavors to the salad as it is a blend of various spices. So please do not skip it; it is readily available in Indian grocery stores. But somehow, if you can not use it, add other spices to the salad, such as asafoetida, ground black pepper, and dry mango powder.
  3. Add-Ins: You can also add green and tamarind chutney to this chaat. Also, sprinkle some fine Sev and pomegranate seeds for more flavors and textures. You can also add some finely chopped mint leaves if you like.
  4. Make-Ahead: In advance, you can prepare all the elements and toss them together before serving.
