There are some healthy things which we need to add in our regular diet and peanut butter is one of them . This delicious spread is very rich in protiens and healthy fat .
Rather than buying it from outside it can be prepared at home very easily and in minutes . I tried making this spread with whatever ingredients I had readily at home and it turned out even better than store bought variety .
I made some variations like instead of adding sugar or glucose which is usually done in readymade variety I added honey to it . Also while grinding I kept the texture little grainy which actually tasted much better .
Ingredients -
1 cup - peanuts
2 tbsp - groundnut oil
2/3 tbsp - honey
salt as per taste
Method -
In a kadhai dry roast the peanuts till they give out a nice aroma and become crisp .
When still warm remove the skin of the peanuts .
This step is completely optional .
If you want to keep the skil you can do so .
I have tried both with skin and without skin .
Now add the skinned peanuts in the mixer and start the mixer .
Add salt and gradually go on adding oil and honey little at a time while grinding .
You can keep the texture grainy of can grind till it becomes fine as per your choice .
Store is a air tight glass jar .
It stays well for 2 to 3 weeks even if kept outside .
Just take care not to use water at all .
