Masala Kadalai/Masala Peanut
When I think of this peanut first thing that comes to my mind is my dad. He sends through someone every year for us from India not because I love it but my daughter is crazy about it. He has even sent 3 kg sometimes. It comes in handy when you don't have mood to make snacks during the Tea Time. I love it too. Its very easy to make and the crunchiness is something that we cant stop with just one cup. I will be loading more of evening based snacks or soups for the rest 2 weeks because I tend to spend more time in kitchen these days by filling up my snack boxes. So lots of items will be displayed in site. Mostly the ones that are made with in half hour so enjoy it without sweating too much in kitchen.
- Prep Time : 5 minutes
- Cook Time : 5-10 minutes
- Yield : 4 person
Ingredients
- Groundnut/Peanut - 1 cup
- Besan Flour - 1 cup
- Rice flour - 4 tsp
- Red chilly powder - 2 tsp
- Asofaetida(hing) - 1/4 tsp
- Garam Masala - 1 tsp
- Garlic ,crushed(I had garlic powder) - 1 1/2 tsp
- Salt - as per requirement
- Oil - for deep frying
Instructions
1. Take a cup of peanut,raw one. Then in another cup mix besan flour,rice flour,chilly powder,salt,garam masala,crushed garlic/garlic powder,hing and mix everything well together and throw the peanut in it.
2. Now sprinkle water and mix the peanut. Remember the key word " sprinkle". Do not pour the water it will become thick and it will be difficult to get single peanuts in coated form. So just sprinkle water little by little and coat the peanuts well.
3. Now in a pan pour oil and deep fry the peanuts in them. Wait till they turn mild brown in color and then remove it quickly and place it on a tissue paper. Don't let them stay for long in oil it will get burnt and wont taste good.
4. Let it cool for 15-20 min and it will turn very crunchy and then store them in an air tight container.
Notes:
- Do not add lots of water the dough will become little thick and peanuts wont easily spread in oil.
- In case you added more water by mistake,apply some oil in your hand and also sprinkle on top of the peanut and try to separate them.
- Be very careful with oil,it shouldn't be very hot. When you adding the peanuts keep the flame in slow and then increase the flame later.
- You can make the same procedure with cashew nut,baadam/Almonds or any nuts.
