I used fresh ground nuts so directly boiled it. You can always use the dry peanuts which we get in shops. You need to soak it for 4 hours or overnight and use them. I love fresh groundnuts than the dry ones. It takes time to peel the shells when using fresh ones. But you can involve the kids to do it. Enjoy them as snacks during Tea time.
