Innovation with groundnuts....!!!

               As this is the season for groundnuts.We get groundnuts from all our relatives and friends who have farms with this crop.So I thought, I will use my imagination to cook something with groundnuts we got this year.My cousines who visited me this evening also helped me with the recipie......Generally we will boil these groundnuts from farm in salt water which will add taste to them when we eat.Some people even fry these groundnuts and eat.

To make this innovation, I used following ingredients:
  • Groundnuts boiled and peeled - 200 gms
  • Curry leaves - a few
  • Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
  • Oil - 3 tsp
  • Turmeric - 1/2 tsp
  • Asafoetida - a pinch
  • Salt - as per taste
  • Chilly Powder - 1+1/2 tsp
  • Lemon Juice - 1 tsp
  • Grated coconut and coriander leaves - 2 tsp
 Procedure:
            
 First we need to boil the groundnuts in salt water.Then we have to peel them....


Then take a pan and pour oil and wait till it is heated,then add mustard seeds,asafoetida,turmeric powder, curry leaves and fry for 3 minutes.Now add the boiled groundnuts and mix well.After this add chilly powder and mix well for 3 minutes.
Now add the grated coconut and coriander leaves and switch off the stove.After doing this add lemon juice for taste (optional).This total process after boiling groundnuts just takes 10 minutes.One of the most easiest snack during this season.......!So this was my imagination turned to innovation....


               As it is good to look it was even good to taste.I enjoyed cooking this with my cousines.Finally we were all fighting to eat this.This is possible only because of their encouragement....Special Thanks to them. :)
So even you people can try this at home when you are free................................
