Notes
Here I used roasted peanuts so I fried along with roasted gram.
If you are using raw peanuts, fry it separately in oil.
Raisins add a sweeter note dont avoid it.
If you want even more tastier, deep fry everything in oil.
Curry leaves adds a nice flavor to this dish.
You can also add some grated potatoes, deep fry it in oil and add it to the mixture.
Fry everything in a medium flame.
You can also add some coconut if you want.
Adjust red chilly powder and salt according to your taste.
