I had peanut salad in India. I was staying at a former Maharaja palace that was operated by the Jains. Of course the food was vegetarian. I absolutely loved this salad and want to make it but raw peanuts are not available in Germany. Is there any way I can use roasted unsalted peanuts?
Yes that will work
great recipe
Hello Aunty,
I m big fan of u r recipe, I have a party how long before I can prepare this Peanut salad ?
Roopal, you can do all the preparations before and add the dry ingredients but others I will add may be 2 hour before not more then that, freshness of the tomatoes and cucumbers will not be there.
We use peanuts in making Pulaao but chaat, we didn’t thinked about it. Nice Recipe
