Juice of 1/2 a lime

Boil the peanuts in the shell in adequate water that has been generously salted. Remove the peanuts from the brine, rinse in cold water to cool down & shell the peanuts to get 1 cup of the gorgeous pink cooked peanuts.

Steam the green garbanzo until they're barely soft. Cool & add to the peanuts.

Quarter the large globe grapes & remove the seeds, dice and add to the legumes along with the cucumbers.

Drizzle with the lime juice, Ancho chile powder, chaat masala, basil chiffonade and toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust for salt via the chaat masala (the peanuts are already salted, so you'll need to take that into account).
