Masala Peanuts

(recipe stolen from internet: heheheh. And few own steps added)

Ingredients needed:

• Raw peanuts - 1 cup
• Chana besan flour (kadalai maavu) - 1/4 cup
• Rice flour - 2 tsp
• Chilli powder - 1 tsp
• Minced Garlic - 2
• Asafoetida/Hing - a pinch
• Salt to taste
• Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
• Oil - 2 tsp
• Finely chopped curry leaves (10) (My own addition)
• Fried onions - 2 tsp (my own addition)
• Few broken cashewnuts (10) (my own addition)

Method:

Mix the above ingredients in water (slowly add water) and make it a nice paste. Place the above contents in a microwavable plate. Spread them nicely. Microwave the above in high heat for 4 minutes. Flip over the peanuts in between (roughly 2 minutes). Check if the peanuts are good. You can cook an additional minute if you want it crispy. This can be served as a snack for kids. Adults can eat this with chilled beer.

Note: You can also fry them in oil instead of microwave.
