Cuisine Indian
1 Mixer Grinder
2 Bowl
1 Muslin Cloth
Ingredients:
- Raw peanuts – 1 cup
- Water – 2.5 to 3 cups for blending
- Starter culture – 1 tsp vegan curd, or green chili crown
Boil the Milk
Pour the milk into a saucepan.
Bring to a boil while stirring continuously to avoid burning.
Let it boil for 5–7 minutes, then cool to lukewarm temperature (like warm baby milk).
Add Starter Culture
Add 1 tsp of any of the following:
Vegan curd (from previous batch)
The crown of a green chili (the stem side with seeds)
Mix gently.
Ferment
Cover and keep the container in a warm, undisturbed place (like oven with light on or in a casserole).
Let it ferment for 8–12 hours (or longer if weather is cool).
Once set, refrigerate and use like regular curd.
Notes:
-
Fermentation time may vary with temperature. In warm climates, 6–8 hours may be enough.
-
Peanut curd has a slightly nutty flavor. You can blend it with cashew milk or soy milk for a milder taste.
-
For sweeter taste (e.g., for desserts), add a date or honey or maple syrup while blending.
