This vibrant peanut chaat is a refreshing, protein‑packed Indian salad made with pressure‑cooked peanuts, fresh vegetables, ripe‑but‑firm mango, pineapple, and a squeeze of lemon. Light, tangy, and naturally nutritious, this verkadalai salad is perfect as a snack, side dish, or a healthy lunch bowl. Every bite is a mix of crunch, sweetness, spice, and freshness—ready in minutes once the peanuts are cooked.

Why soak and pressure‑cook peanuts?

Soaking softens the peanuts and helps them cook evenly. Pressure‑cooking ensures they turn soft but not mushy, perfect for salads.

Can I use roasted peanuts instead?

Yes, but the texture will be crunchy instead of soft. Both versions taste great.

Can I skip pineapple or mango?
