Soak the peanut/verkadalai in water for atleast 3 hours. I usually soak overnight. It depends on the quality of peanuts. Most of the peanuts need more hours of soaking. If you forget to soak overnight, then boil the water and add boiling water to soak the peanuts before 3 hours
Cooking the Peanut
Rinse the peanut and pressure cook it along with salt. Allow for 3 whistles

If you don't have sundal powder, you can just add chili powder or Sambar powder
If you get fresh ones then no need to soak just pressure cook the peanuts
Don't overcook the peanuts. It should be crunchy enough to bite
