Peanut Chaat Recipe

Peanut Chaat Recipe

Peanut chaat is the most ordered salads/chats in any restaurants. This is one dish which is served and enjoyed in various ways. Peanut salad/chat makes a meal complete and more nutritious. I add Peanut Chaat in atleast one of the meals in a week. It gives the required protein and tastes amazing too. The best part is that it is super quick to prepare and can be packed for tiffin/lunch box as well.

It not only makes a good side dish but is a good healthy snack to munch on.

You can add vegetables of your choice and pack it in your kids/hubby’s tiffin for a mid-day snack to avoid eating on the junk.

 

This is a very nutritious recipe especially for vegetarians who lacks options for protein rich food.

 

How to prepare –

As this is a very easy and simple recipe it does not require much of preparation. Wash and soak peanuts overnight, considering it increases in volume after it is well soaked. Cut the vegetables of your choice right before preparing the salad. The vegetables that goes well in this recipe are onion, cucumber, tomatoes, carrot, beetroot, raw mango, raw papaya or even coconut.

 

Not all the vegetables go together well, so take the combinations of vegetable like carrot, beetroot and coconut, or raw papaya, raw mango and cucumber. This time I have used onion, tomatoes, carrots and raw mango. Keep ready the tamarind juice if not readily available in refrigerator.

 

How to make tamarind (imli) juice –

Soak 1-2 Tbsp od tamarind (prefer deseeded) for 15 mins, in enough water such the tamarind is just dipped in it. Mash tamarind nicely and extract the pulp removing all the extra fibres from it. Adjust water as required.
