Know about the Recipe : 
Peanuts are excellent source of nutrients, omega3, fiber and antioxidants. Whether the intake is in the form of peanut butter, handful of roasted peanuts or added in masalas, peanuts pack a serious nutritional punch that gives you many health benefits. So, try to include at least half a handful peanuts (about 15 grams) daily, to keep you away from many diseases.

MASALA PEANUTS is a simple, quick and very easy, evening tea time snack liked by all age groups. Since my childhood, I am crazy after snack food. Whether it is mirchi bajji, kara boondi or masala palli (peanuts), I love the taste of crispy, crunchy, spicy snack. We had peanut crops in our village, so there was all time availability of peanuts in our home, and my mom made the habit of using them in various ways in her recipes. One of the best and tastiest peanut recipe made by mom is Masala Peanuts. I am a bit addicted to this tasty snack.

As a weekend special, today I am presenting my mom's recipe as it is, but for additional taste, I have added garam masala and chat masala. Mixed all the ingredients with peanuts by adding little water. See that the mixture is just coated with all peanuts. Do not add more water. After that deep fry these coated peanuts on low flame till they get crisp and golden brown. Take out and eat when they get cool. 

All ingredients are regularly available in our kitchen. So friends.. do check the recipe below, watch the recipe making video and try out this evening. Enjoy this weekend at home, watching movie with a cup of tea in hand along with crunchy masala peanuts...!
