Boiled Peanut Salad Ingredients

Raw peanuts – I have used raw peanuts without shells. These are easily available in most grocery stores.

Cucumber: I used Persian cucumber, English cucumbers work too.

Tomato: I used the Roma variety but cherry tomatoes work too.

Green chili – I used Thai green chili available in the Indian grocery store. You can use any chili of your choice.

Herbs: I used finely chopped mint and coriander leaves. If you are making chaat style then replace fresh herbs with green chutney.

Spices: I have used red chili powder and chaat masala. Chaat Masala ( I like the Everest brand) is easily available in the Indian grocery or on Amazon.

Lime Juice: I used the juice of half lime. Also, feel free to increase or decrease according to your preference.

How to Make Boiled Peanut Salad

Firstly, we need to boil the raw peanuts. You can cook raw peanuts either by using an Instant pot, Indian stovetop pressure cooker, or directly cooking them on the stovetop pot.

If using Instant Pot –  Add the peanuts into the instant pot insert with enough water and salt. Then cook for 12-15 minutes on Pressure Cook (High). Let the pressure release naturally. Boiled Peanuts should be tender but not mushy.
