Peanut butter recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Peanut butter is prepared using roasted ground nuts, pinch of salt, little oil and little honey. This is a homemade peanut butter recipe. Peanut butter is prepared using Shenga or Kadlekai or nelagadale.

Peanut butter is very high in protein and good fat. It's a super food for growing children. However it is advised to consume peanut butter in moderation. You can eat 2 - 3 spoons of peanut butter in a day. You can find many shenga recipes on this website like shenga hindi or peanut chutney powder, shenga holige, salted shenga or peanut, shenga unde or peanut laddu, ellu-bella, hurigalu, congress kadlekai, masala peanuts etc.,

You can use this peanut butter as a spread along with bread or chapathi or dosa. You can use this peanut butter in sandwiches too. I like it with bread.
