Peanut chaat is a wholesome salad and it is quite easy to prepare. Peanut vegetable salad can be served warm or cold depending upon your preference. It has a spicy, tangy, and nutty taste. 

Some may add veggies like capsicum/bell peppers, sweet corn, cabbage, shredded coconut, and fruits like pomegranate, apple, and pineapple to this peanut chaat. You may even sprinkle some Sev or Bhujia on the top to get a crunchy and crispy taste. Sev is an oil-fried Indian snack made from chickpea flour.

In India, people love to have it as an evening snack. As this is my favorite salad, I love to nibble this as my mid-morning snack. I'm sure this dish will become your favorite if you are fond of peanuts. Alright, let's get into the recipe.

2. Salt - As per taste
3. Black Salt - 1/2 tsp
4. Chat powder - 1/4 tsp

Notes:

1. Generally, we do not use roasted peanuts to prepare this peanut chaat.

2. If raw mango is not available, dry mango powder or Amchoor powder can be used. 

3. If black salt is not available, Don't fret..! You can use any salt like Iodized salt, Himalayan salt, Sea salt, etc. 

4. Chat powder gives a tangy flavor to any dish. It's okay if you don't have one.  

5. Once refrigerated, peanut salad should not be reheated in a microwave oven or on a stove. It becomes soggy and doesn't taste good. 

How to soak and boil peanuts:


1. Wash raw peanuts in water and soak them overnight. The next day, clean and wash the peanuts. Steam or pressure cook peanuts for 15 minutes with 1 tsp of salt and water. Now, boiled peanuts are ready. Drain off the excess water and keep it aside.
