This is one of my favorite dukkahs. I like it with vegetables and with pita, and on its own as a snack.

Chop the peanuts very fine. Mix with the toasted sesame seeds in a bowl. In a dry skillet, lightly toast the coriander seeds just until fragrant and immediately transfer to a spice mill and allow to cool. In the same skillet, toast the cumin seeds just until fragrant and transfer to the spice mill. Allow to cool. When the spices have cooled, grind and add to the nuts and sesame seeds. Add the nigella seeds, sumac and salt and mix together.
