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.
