    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…

    I tried this recipe this morning and it is so delicious. I cooked it with virgin coconut oil though, since I use only VCO. Thank you Prema.
