Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw peanut
  • ½ cup brown rice flour
  • 800 ml water
  • 1 tbsp vegan curd starter

Method

  1. Soak the raw peanuts with their peel for 4-6 hours.
  2. Discard the water, rinse the peanuts, and grind them into a very smooth paste using some water.
  3. Add 500 ml water to this peanut paste. Blend it to a smooth liquid consistency.
  4. In a separate vessel, mix the rice flour with a small quantity of water to make it into a paste. Make sure there are no lumps.
  5. Add the remaining water to the rice paste to make it into rice milk.
  6. Boil the peanut milk. When it boils, simmer the gas and add the rice milk slowly, stirring continuously so that the milk thickens.
  7. Cool this mixture to room temperature and add the curd starter. Mix well and keep aside for 8-10 hours until it sets.

Notes

This recipe works best with a curd starter (use a vegan one)

Dairy Alternatives

Almond Milk

While switching to a plant-based diet, the first alternative we often look for is a substitute for dairy or cow’s milk. Many of us are used to drinking milk daily, either on its own, as a milkshake, in tea or coffee, in desserts, or in various other dishes. The thought of “life without milk” can be overwhelming. However, today we know that we are loaded with options when it comes to plant-based milks. Let’s try homemade almond milk.
