Without any doubt Karachi’s favourite winter nut is peanut.In winters we see alot of moong phali wala’s and It is popular among people who want to keep peanuts for adornment purposes.“There are typically five peanut strains available in the market; the best is, of course, the one from Parachinar, followed by Chakwal, Kohat, Sukkur and India in that order.
I crave it because it’s salty and fatty and it’s comforting. I have so many memories of eating peanuts in winters or pine nuts pretty much all the time, plus it’s my favorite food. It’s something that’s so easy to binge on and I crave it all day long, every day.Everytime I need something to chew on, I take some peanuts and start cracking them up.
