Roasted Salted Peanuts are a great time pass in winter season in India. You would see people chewing them everywhere. It is because, pea-nut’s inherent attributes make it hot (called taasir in common language) and hence people like to eat it more in winters.

You can obviously eat it raw but what about roasting it and adding a bit of salt to add to its taste? If you have grown up in India, you would have certainly eaten the roasted salted peanuts from the street side pop-corn vendor who also sells peanuts. We are just listing the same process which he (pop-corn vendor) uses to roast pea-nuts without using any oil whatsoever!
