When groundnuts are fully roasted, place them on a tray to let them cool completely - for about 30 minutes.

Blend the groundnut together with nutmeg, crayfish, seasoning cube and pepper. Blend them until you have a fine paste. 

Sprinkle some salt and stir properly to get a fine and uniform paste.

Package the paste in plastic containers and seal it properly to increase its shelf life.
