Ingredients

1. Raw Peanuts   1 Cup

3. Tomato, deseeded finely chopped  1/4 cup
4. Cucumber,  chopped 1/4 cup
5. Green chilli 1 or 2 (finely chopped)

11. Jeera Powder   1/2 tsp
12. Kashmiri Chilli Powder 1 tsp

Notes:
This is a basic chaat, no need of green chutney or sweet tamarind chutney just the above ingredients is more than enough for a tasty healthy snack.

Soaking Peanuts is optional, you can also directly cook the raw peanuts in pressure cooker for 3-4 whistles.
But soaking for 15-30 or 1 hour will help to cook the peanuts better.
You can also add a cup of boiled potato/aloo & corn kernels.
Adjust spices to your taste, the above measurement will give you a medium spicy chaat. For less spicy skip green chillies.
You can also add a tsp of honey or jaggery syrup to the chaat. 

Method

• First take 1 cup Raw Peanuts in a bowl, and add enough water and let them soak for minimum 10 minutes or 1 hour is more than enough to get soft boiled peanuts.
• After soaking just rinse them in water and transfer the soaked and washed peanuts to a cooker and pressure cook for 1 or 2 whistles. I cooked them in InstantPot(Pressure Cook Mode - 10 Minutes) Let the pressure release naturally. 
• Once done allow the peanuts to cool for a while then the peanuts are ready to make chaat.
• In a wide mixing bowl, add in all the ingredients.
• Toss everything well, taste it and adjust the spices/salt to your taste.
• Serve right away or refrigerate it for 15 minutes and serve it chilled.
