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

  • Add the boiled peanuts, 2 tablespoons of grated coconut, and a pinch of turmeric powder to the pan. Pour in about ½ cup of the peanut boiling water (reserve the rest for adjusting consistency). Stir well and cook for 5 minutes over low heat.

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.
