Childhood nostalgia

My mum always made this roasted peanuts for my grandpa. He was a diabetic. Always watched what he ate. She would roast them and add bit of salt for him and keep a jar ready. She also worked long hours so ensured we never stayed hungry when home alone. Hence, we always had snacks ready for a quick bite. I appreciate all mums who never give up kitchen. They work twice as hard for making kids feel special. My MIL too keeps jar full of stuff ready for munching, whenever we visit home. Though we might be older now, we still feel like a kid in the kitchen again.

Variations

You can also make a paste of ¼ cup besan /chickpea flour, ⅛th cup of chawal ka atta/rice flour and atta/ wheat flour each as a variation. Adjust spices according to your taste. You may add garam masala if you like.

Top tip

Grind oats to make flour in advance using a spice grinder. You can store it in a jar at room temperature. This will help you create any oats recipe in minutes. Be it oats dhokla or oats laddu.

Storage

Store at room temperature in an air tight container.
