Ingredients:
Peanut - 1 cup
Kadalai mavu (Besan flour) - 2 tbsp
Chili powder - 2 tsp
Cumin powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Hing - 1/2 tsp
Baking soda - 1 tsp
Red food color - 1 pinch
Salt as required
Water as required
Oil for frying
Preparation :
1) If you have raw peanut with shell, first remove the shell and dry roast it in a pan.
2) I am doing this with roasted peanut. In a bowl take all the incredients except oil and mix well.
3) Sprinkle water and mix until peanut is well coated with masala. Each peanut should be coated with masala.
4) Never add too much water. Sprinkling water and mixing allows flour to stick to peanuts.
5) Cover the bowl and refrigerate atleast 30 mins.
6) Heat oil for frying. Deep fry peanuts until golden brown. It takes some time to fry.
7) Peanut before frying stick as a clump. While droping in oil try to separate as much as possible.
8) Fried peanuts cant be served hot. It should rest to room temperature for a crispy peanut masala. It is chunky when hot.
Notes:
1) Some use rice flour with besan flour for extra crispness.
2) Maintain even heat through out the frying process.
3) If you like to have natural masala color avoid using food color.
