2. Roasted Peanuts
During our childhood We used to eat roasted peanuts every single day from a street vendors. Fresh roasted peanuts have very nice strong aroma and nice taste as well.
My parents are still getting their peanuts dose till today from that same street vendors.
Our traditional snacks are fresh and hence packed with full of nutrition.
Peanuts are widely used in various Indian cuisines. One time I have roasted some peanuts to add in some dish however the quantity was more hence I just stored excess peanuts in a Jar. Surprisingly my 2 years young son have seen the Jar and later in the day he started eating from it.
I found that he loves eating roasted peanuts henceforth I always keep a jar full of roasted peanuts in my kitchen for my son to munching over anytime.
Roasted peanuts have a more intense flavour than raw peanuts and make ideal snacks for kids. Believe it or not, roasting your own peanuts is satisfying ,very easy and healthy.
Peanuts are easily available in any grocery store.
Process : Heat Tawa / Pan on gas stove. Place all the peanuts evenly on tawa. Keep the flame slow and keep on stiring them on regular intervals. Roast evenly of all sides. I generally keep the flame low and parallely continue working on other things.
You may by skinless or with skins. While eating we remove the skin however if you wish you can remove it once its roasted and store it.
Allow it to cool down completely and store in air tight container.
