Notes :

1. I always made the kadai hot and add peanuts/groundnuts roast in low flame for more time to ensure even roasting .As it gets roasted,it slightly splits.

2. Garlic can be replaced with a ginger too. In that case avoid hing.

3. If you want,you can add coconut in this same recipe.

4. If you want,you can add red chilies,then you skip green chillies .
