SPICY PEANUT BUTTER SPREAD
Peanut Butter lavishly spread on multi grain bread toasts and berries! This was the breakfast we enjoyed the most during our stay with our son. Once we were back in India we switched over to our traditional Indian breakfast. The flavour and taste of the delicious Peanut Butter still lingers in my memory and some times I even find my taste buds crave for the delicious butter. I satisfied my craving by preparing a spicy version of Peanut Butter Spread at home. I used Peanuts without husking them, and this gave a nutty flavour to the butter. Peanut Butter when paired together with sesame oil gives out a heavenly flavour.
INGREDIENTS
Peanuts/ Groundnuts - 2 cups
Sesame oil - 2 tbsps

METHOD
1. Roast the Groundnuts in a heavy bottomed pan on a low flame till they crack.

3. Stop now and then to stir and push down the powder.
4. Keep blending till the groundnuts turn into a thick paste releasing oil.
5. Add sesame oil little by little till it reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency. Add more oil for a flowing consistency.
