Tip: If you are using whole roasted peanuts, you can also grind them with a mortar and pestle or a food processor. To remove excess oil, carefully wrap the crushed peanuts in a paper towel or clean cloth and gently squeeze out excess oil. Alternatively, place a heavy pot/can over the wrapped crushed peanuts, which will also draw out excess oil.
