Roasted and salted kadlekai recipe

Salted peanut or roasted kadlekai or uppu shenga recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Home made roasted and salted peanut or kadlekai recipe is very simple and it takes very less time. Roasted shenga is a oil free, guilt free snacks. Salted ground nuts or nelagadale is a healthy snacks for both adults and kids.

These are my personal favourite. I love them so much and my son joins me too. We both together enjoy eating roasted and salted peanuts. We always buy this salted kadlekai from the carts. But one day I tried them at home and surprisingly they came out so well. To be frank better than the shop bought ones. So now I prepare this regularaly at home.

The good thing about this recipe is it is instant and it takes hardly few minutes to prepare. It needs just two ingredients, the ground nuts (kadlekai or shenga) and the salt for roasting. So I would suggest you to try this at home. And this can be a healthy replacement for the junk foods.

I have prepared and posted the salted chickpea or hurigadale recipe yesterday. Today I am reusing the same salt. Yesterday when I posted the recipe, many were asking me whether the roasting method remains same for all the seeds. Since there is a small difference in the roasting method for peanuts, I am posting the recipe today.

Hurigadale or roasted chana is a guilt free snacks recipe. I have already shared some guilt free snacks recipes like hurigalu, congress kadlekai, Avarekalu mixture, carrot-mung dal salad, Mangalore churumuri, girmit, kadle usli and nuchinunde recipes.
