Process to make Peanut Curd
1. Soak 1 cup of peanuts in water for 4 hours. Use peanuts that are light brown in colour.
2. Place the soaked peanuts and 2 cups water into a blender and blend. Then add 1 more cup of water and blend again.
3. Sieve the mixture into a bowl through a muslin cloth or nut milk bag. Then put the peanut milk on the stove.
4. Heat the milk on a medium flame for 3—4 minutes. As soon as it starts boiling, remove it from the gas. Once the peanut milk is lukewarm, transfer it to a clay pot or glass bowl.
5. Place 8 chilli tops on top and cover with a plate. Keep the bowl in a mildly warm place, such as a balcony or an empty oven.
6. Allow the curd to ferment for 8—9 hours and your peanut curd will be ready! While the curd is setting, ensure the bowl is not disturbed.
Note: Next time you want to prepare peanut curd, add 5 spoons of curd as a fermenter from your previous batch. Also, always make sure to maintain a ratio of 1 cup of peanuts to 3 cups of water.
