Indian cuisine uses roasted, crushed peanuts to give a crunchy body to salads. They are added whole to leafy vegetable stews for the same reason. Peanuts are also widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Indonesia, where they are typically made into a spicy sauce. Peanuts can be used like other legumes and grains to make a lactose-free milk-like beverage, peanut milk.
