    I am Italian too and i actually have some chestnuts trees, i love it and eat them in many different ways: roasted, steamed, boiled like you did, dried then turned into flour to make cakes or even pasta, back in the days it was one of the few foods available for the population living in the north, in the mountains.

      @@chrisgartenn not cooked, just dried for 30-40 days. To make proper flour i need to bring it to a mill with special stone for chestnuts, normal mills arent good enough because you need a really fine powder.
      But you can make a semi-acceptable flour by using a power blender, just be careful not to heat the flour too much.

      @@lexilexis6963 devi usare castagne di qualita', le castagne che trovi nei boschi non coltivati sono per lo piu' selvatiche quindi non sono selezionate in base alla varieta', invece quelli che le coltivano piantano solo varieta' buone che sono piu' saporite e facili da sbucciare, anche la pellicina interna.

      @@chrisgartenn No, this is how it's done: first you dry the chestnuts, then you put them in a burlap sack or some other bag made with a strong fabric, and smash it against a stump or something, many times. Most of the outer shell will come off, same for the brown skin, and here comes an important part that it's often overlooked, you need some good variety of chestnuts for this job, here they've been selected over the centuries to facilited the peeling of the brown skin which is the biggest issue when dealing with chestnuts, for most preparations. Some of the peeling must be done by hand, and carefully selected to discard the bad chestnuts even for the smallest imperfections otherwise you ruin the whole batch of flour. Yes it's complicated and a pain in the ass that's must be why, in modern days, 1 kg of chesnut flour costs like 15 euro or more. There are modern machines that makes the job easiser, but very expensive and for industrial usage.
      The mill must be presented with perfectly peeled and dried chesnuts otherwise they wont grind them.
      Also the REAL drying process is not so simple: there are specially buildt small houses, in stone, and at the base of the house they start a slow fire to create smoke, and in the floor above they lay down the chestnuts to dry for a month or a little more, constantly keeping the smoke going, there used to be like one of those smokehouses for every town or county, and everybody brought their chestnuts there, now there is maybe one in the whole valley where i live and it's kept mostly to keep alive traditions.

    Here in Germany, around Christmas season, you also have lots of little street food huts (usually in the shape of a locomotive!) Selling roasted chestnuts. However, they dont come with a spoon so you have to peel them while walking, which often results in bleeding fingernails 😅
    I'll definitely try your method when cooking them at home next time!

    Water chestnuts available India looks different.. The farmers smoke them first before selling , and they become black..we call it "singada". As you said, it's really hard to open it's shell. In markets here, we get ready to eat "white part inside" as well. Tender one's are also available and are in green color. They are more crunchy and delicious. ✨🫶🏻
