- 1 pinch Turmeric Powder

Instructions
Prepare the Peanuts
- Boil 1 cup of raw peanuts with 2 cups of water and 1.5 teaspoons of salt until tender. Drain and set aside.
Make the Spice Paste
- Grind together 1 medium onion, 2 green chilies, 1 pinch of ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 2 cloves, 1 inch cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon of chopped ginger, and ½ teaspoon of chopped garlic into a smooth paste.
Sauté the Paste
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add the spice paste and sauté until it turns a rich golden brown color, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Combine and Simmer

Finish and Serve
- Add ½ to 1 teaspoon of red chili powder (adjust to your preferred spice level). Simmer for another 5 minutes, adding more water if needed to achieve desired consistency. Season with additional salt if necessary. Remove from heat, garnish as desired, and serve hot with rice or roti.
