Crunchy and spicy masala peanuts sold in stores are liked by everyone, from children to adults. The good news is that this snack can be easily made at home with minimal effort. This snack, which is prepared from legume flour, rice flour, and simple spices, turns out very crunchy on the outside and incredibly tasty. Furthermore, it can be made once and stored for a long time.
If you crave something spicy, try making masala peanuts at home. Below is a recipe for making crunchy masala peanuts similar to the store-bought kind, along with a list of necessary ingredients.
The following components will be needed for preparation: 2 cups of raw peanuts, 4 tablespoons of legume flour (besan), 2 tablespoons of rice flour, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, half a teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of chaat masala, half a teaspoon of garam masala, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ginger and garlic paste, 1 tablespoon of oil, 2-3 tablespoons of water, as well as frying oil.
To ensure the spices evenly coat the peanuts, the water should be added gradually. When frying, maintain medium heat, as strong heat can cause the spices to burn quickly while the peanuts inside do not cook properly. After frying, be sure to let the peanuts cool completely; only then will they retain their crunchy texture for a long time. If you plan to store the finished product, always use airtight containers.
