- Pressure cook peanuts with required water and salt for 4-5 whistles or until soft yet crunchy enough to bite, Set aside.

- Then add peanuts and give a toss until mixed well. Adjust salt if required at this stage. Then add coconut and give a quick stir.
- Switch off and serve Peanut Sundal warm.
Notes
- I used readymade raw peanuts which was available at nilgiris. If you get fresh ones then no need to soak just pressure cook and remove the shell.
- I usually pressure cook with little water just enough to cook the sundal and add the sundal along with water and cook till water evaporates, this water the sundal does not become dry.
- You can even add coconut oil instead of normal cooking oil.
- Dont boil till very soft, it should be crunchy enough to bite.
