Peanut Curd is a vegan curd made using peanuts. It is tasty and ideal to use regularly.

Many people are adopting veganism, it is refraining from eating or using any animal product. It is a kind of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal derived ingredients.  Alternative products used by vegans are almond milk, soy milk, cashew milk, peanut and rice milk. Today, more and more people are adopting vegan diet.

I am neither a vegan nor have changed myself into one. When I saw this peanut curd posted by friend Poornima, I wanted to try it. It was the first time I heard about it and I really wanted to see how it tasted.

Peanut curd is different in taste but surprisingly looks like our own kind. It has the nutty taste in it and those who like peanuts will surely like it.

It involves the soaking, grinding, boiling, sieving and setting of curd. Let us look into it in depth.

Never tried peanut curd.. but not a bad idea for those following a vegan diet. I tried the red chilli method and it didn’t work for me.

Peanut curd looks just like normal curd!! And so easy to make. However, it’s quite an unusual curd too as most curds here are made with almonds,cashews or soya.

I have heard so much about peanut curd but ddi not think it was so easy to make.Sounds like a wonderful way to enjoy veganism.

My Culinary Expressions

This vegan curd looks just as good as the dairy curd. I would definitely like to venture into this curd making process. The curd in the post looks so well set. Your post has inspired me to into trying to make this vegan curd.
