In a mixing bowl, add the boiled peanuts.

Add the chopped onions, tomatoes, chilies, and coriander to the bowl.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon of black salt, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of Kashmir chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of chaat masala, 1 1/2 tablespoons of tamarind sauce, salt to taste, and freshly ground black pepper.

Heat a little olive oil in a pan.

Add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, the grated coconut, and a bit of chopped coriander to the hot oil.

Pour the fragrant warm oil over the peanut mixture and mix well.

Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 lime for a citrusy kick.

Serve the mixture on individual crisp lettuce leaves and enjoy.
