This is a very healthy dish. Tasted this for the very first time at my mother-in-law's place and have ever since stuck onto this. She told me that this particular recipe used to appear on their lunch menu quite often. Here is the recipe for all the salad lovers...

Peanut Salad

It is an unwritten rule in my house that healthy dishes like this should be on our menu at least once a day. Looking at the snapshot, I guess there is no necessity for me to mention the joy of crunching this with a hot cup of coffee or tea at dusk. I have been preparing this dish quite often ever since the birth of my little one; one of the few healthy eatable that he likes. This is called "Sundal" in tamil.
