Peanuts are often found at our kitchen pantry. Apart from making chutneys and using a few in making Chivda, peanuts normally doesn’t have anything fancy to serve us. But No! hold on…this masala peanuts is not just quick but also gives you a kick on your palate. There are basically two kinds of masala peanut recipes… 1. Besan coated deep fried 2. Blanched and roasted with spices.
Peanut itself carry a huge content of oil in it hence the deep fried option won’t be that healthy to consume. Hence i opted for the roasted one. It’s tangy and spicy and as it is blanched and then roasted it gives an amazing flavor that makes us grab it more and more.
- Boil or Blanch peanuts , cool and rub them vigorously to remove skin and split into half.
- In a bowl, take all the dry spices including salt and mix the peanuts. Toss the peanuts well so that the spices gets coated all over.
- Take a microwave sage bowl and grease it with oil on case and the sides as well.
