How to Roast Peanuts | Salted Peanuts in 10 Minutes

In India, traditionally, we roast peanuts with sand. In that method, we will get peanuts with good aroma and taste. This recipe also gives us the same flavour and additionally the lightly salted taste. For this recipe, we need a heavy-bottomed pan and a strainer.

Ingredients

Raw peanuts - 1 cup

Table salt - 3/4 cup

Method

We are going to use table salt for roasting peanuts.

Add the salt and peanuts together. Start roasting in low flame.

Roast for 3 to 5 minutes.

You will hear popping sound at one stage. Roast the peanuts for one or two minutes and turn off the stove. 

Transfer the peanuts immediately from the pan with the strainer

Otherwise, it will get over-roasted.

We can reuse the salt for roasting peanuts again in the future.
