  • This peanuts will be done very fast and be careful while frying this as this will get burnt easily.
  • Store this in a air tight container and enjoy with tea.

Note:

  • If using skinned peanuts just continue with the same procedure or if you don’t want the skin just roast them in a pan for few minutes and rub it.
  • Alternatively you can microwave it for a few minutes and take the skin out.
  • The entire recipe cane be done without deep frying. You canbake it in an oven or microwave it too.
  • I added crushed garlic in the last batch and i loved the flavor in that masala peanuts.
