Description
It’s a famous all-time favorite snack for young adults. Can be made spicy and tangy as needed.
Ingredients
- ½ pounds Peanuts
- 1 cup Gram Flour (or Chickpea Flour)
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Or Baking Soda
- 1 Tablespoon Mango Powder (Amchur Powder)
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- ¼ cups Water
- 1 cup Oil, For Frying
Preparation
In a medium bowl, mix peanuts, gram flour, turmeric, baking powder, mango powder, red chili powder, salt and add enough water to make a very thick smooth paste.
Heat oil in a nonstick wok on high. Once the oil is heated, reduce the heat to its lowest setting.
Drop 1 peanut (coated in the mixture) at a time, making sure they don’t clump/cling together. Add as many as will fit the wok and still be easily stirred. Keep frying the peanuts at low heat till they become slightly brown (takes 3-4 minutes per batch).
Remove the fried peanuts to a paper napkin to soak up excess oil. Cool completely before storing in an air tight container.
This can be served hot or cold.
