Home-made Peanut Butter

Home-made Peanut Butter

Ingredients: 

250 gm Roasted Peanuts / groundnuts

1 teaspoon groundnut oil or cooking oil

1 teaspoon jaggary or honey

1/4 teaspoon salt 

Procedure: 

Take roasted groundnuts. Remove skin if you want. It is optional. Put the groundnuts in the mixer grinder & powder it finely till it starts releasing oil. At this point, add all other ingredients (oil, salt & jaggary/ honey) & blend it again till it gets smooth buttery texture. 

Peanut butter is ready. Store it in airtight glass container. Do not keep it in refrigerator as it will harden & lose its buttery texture. 

You can use it as a spread on bread or roti or parathas. 

[Note: I like crunchy textured peanut butter. Hence, I added oil & honey half way before it turns into fine powder. But if you like it fine buttery texture, add these ingredients at the end.]
