How to make Peanut Sadeko (Peanut Salad)

Dry roast the peanuts in a pan over medium heat until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Allow them to cool, then gently rub them between your palms to remove the skin. Set aside.
Heat mustard oil in a small pan over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the roasted peanuts with the chopped onion, tomato, green chillies, garlic, ginger, coriander powder, cumin powder, chaat masala, black salt, and salt.
Mix well, adjusting the seasonings as needed.
Drizzle the cooled mustard oil over the peanut mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, add the lemon juice and gently toss the mixture again. Garnish with fresh coriander.

Adjust the number of green chillies according to your preferred level of spiciness.

You can opt for pre-roasted peanuts to save time.
