3. Pour boiling water over peanuts with plate covering to keep peanuts submerged, covered for at least 18 hrs.
4. 1 full 5 star spice flower in pressure cooker.
5. 1/3 cup sea salt to 1 lb raw peanuts during last 40 min of process.
6. Pressure cooking time should be 45 min at slow pressure.

P.S. Sliced fresh ginger (3-4 large peeled slices) and red pepper flakes during cooking adds another flavor.
