Roasted Peanuts
Roasted peanuts are a staple in Marathi kitchens and are used in curries, sabzis, chutneys, salads, snacks, and sweet treats. I prefer to roast my own as it is super easy and I know there are no preservatives or additives. You do require some patience as it takes a while but all you need to do is stir them often to avoid burning.
