Masala peanuts are my all time favorite. Its so easy to prepare that you can get it ready just talking to your guests. Munching these peanuts in a rainy evening is one thing I always look for. The fresh and big sized peanuts are good for this snack. I have added minimum spices and made it simple.

Masala Peanuts/Savory Coated Groundnuts Recipe

- Now add gram flour and again toss well. Gram flour gets coated evenly on peanuts and they are ready for frying.
- Heat a frying pan/kadai adding cooking oil, when it gets heated pour part of these peanuts in to oil and slightly stir to prevent peanuts from sticking together.
- When the peanuts are slightly brown then drain them on a tissue paper and after cooling store it in airtight container.

Note:
- Do not add excess water, the gram flour mixture will not get coated evenly on peanuts.
- The peanuts get fried soon, so be careful while frying them. Ensure they do not get burnt.
