ROASTED PEANUTS


Most of the Maharashtrian recipes make the use of roasted peanuts and it is very economical to make them at home. You can make them in bulk and use upto 3- 4 weeks. If you have ready made roasted peanuts, it is easier to make some dishes.
Place the raw peanuts in a non stick pan and roast on low to medium heat, stirring continuously. You will see brown spots on the peanut that means the peanuts have finished roasting and have become crisp. Remove the pan from heat and keep aside to cool. Cool down the peanuts completely. Then remove the skin by taking handful of peanuts and rubbing them. You will notice that the skin will come out easily. Remove the skin of all the peanuts. You can separate the skins from peanuts by just blowing away the skin or putting it in the colander. You can store the peanuts in airtight container. Also you can make the fine powder by placing the peanut in a blender and blend till powder is formed. Dont blend too much or it will turn into a paste.
