  38. Its totally new to me.Looks yummy.But i have a doubt.I'm not having the peanuts with the shell.Im just having the dried ones.So can i use that and how to cook it.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Thanks sudha..u can use the peanut without shell. Just boil it by adding little salt and then use it in kuzhambu. But if it is baked peanut, it won't be nice...
