Roasted Seeds and a perfect accompaniment for a healthy Snacking idea by me. 2 ingredients simple yet filling recipe for your little one's. This one is sure to impress them and make them go for it on any day. The best part is that it can be stored in airtight containers and enjoyed as needed. I have used Omani Dates for this. You can use any variety of them that are easily available to you.
This can be a great option for everyday Snacking. An afterschool quick munchie or a super delicious and a healthy Brunch on a weekend as well. The list is endless.
I usually pack these in their Lunchboxes too so that they can have them during the short break. And it's perfectly okay to eat these on a daily basis as the growing children needs lots of nutritional goodness in their diet.
Peanuts are a real treat to your tastebuds. These are rich in antioxidants and are therefore an ideal one's for a balanced diet. There are many amazing benefits of these with no doubt at all and when in combo with Dates, it becomes a super hit idea. Kids and adults both would love this innovative simple try by me. Peanuts are an excellent source of plant Protiens. Healthy and wholesome too. And are high in many Vitamins and Minerals as well.
Enjoy No Cooking with Zeen!

And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well.

Njugu karanga (roasted peanuts)
Roasted Peanuts or Njugu Karanga as we call them locally are the best snack that you need to have to sort that craving. I love cooking my own peanuts because they turn out great and I can trust that they are well cooked. Roasting peanuts need patience up to even an hour because you cook on really low heat. This is to make sure that they are evenly cooked without being burnt yet raw on the inside. Hope you enjoy my "njugu karanga" recipe!

Boiled peanuts
We are used to frying and roasting peanuts but boiling is the most healthiest way of having your peanuts.It's a heathy snack rich in vitamins and acts as a very good antioxidant.If you don't have a pressure cooker,you can use a jiko,gas or firewood but it will take you longer than the time have shown.#boiledsnack

Roasted Peanut Stew
There are so many angles to this story. First, I bought roasted street peanuts for eating but they spilled in my handbag. I was disgusted at the thought of eating them from the 'floor' of my handbag and they were a lot, so throwing them away was a sad thought for me, so I decided to cook them to kill the germs. Hehe! Secondly, last week on a class trip (I teach culinary school) to Carrefour and City Park market, I went crazy with all the exotic foods out there and came away with a wide array of them as you will see from my ingredient list (I do get tired of using the same ingredients every day). So that's the story that brought me to this place where I'm eating one of the most delicious things I have ever put in my mouth. The flavour is also elevated by the quinoa rice whose recipe I will share after this. Let's go on an adventure! All ingredients can be found in major supermarket brands and large green grocers, including city park market.
