Peanuts, Corn and Pineapple Salad

3 Comments

If there is one ingredient which is healthy and liked by most of the people, it can be certainly peanuts. Roasted or boiled, peanuts can be used in many recipes.

Peanuts are very rich in essential nutrients. In a 100 g serving, peanuts provide 570 calories and are an excellent source (defined as more than 20% of the daily value DV) of several B vitamins, vitamin E, dietary minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, manganese etc and also dietary fiber.  They are also very rich source of protein (contain about 25% protein per 100 g serving) a higher proportion than in many nuts.

Today I have made a simple salad using peanuts, corn and pineapple. It’s easy to make, very healthy and very delicious:)
One of the few salads that I don’t have to insist my kids to eat:)
 
 Ingredients
Boiled peanuts- 1 cup
Boiled fresh corn- 11/2 cups
Chopped pineapple- 1/2 cup
Oil- 1 tsp
Mustard- 1 tsp
Hing- 2 pinches
Curry leaves- few
Chopped coriander leaves- 1 tbsp
Idli milagai podi ( gun powder) – 2 tsps
Method
Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard. When it starts spluttering, add curry leaves and hing. After few secs, add boiled peanuts, salt to taste and idli milagai podi. Mix well and sauté for few mins.
 
Take off the gas. Add boiled corn and chopped pineapple to this and mix well. Check for the seasonings. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve:)
