Peanuts gently coated in spicy gram flour batter coupled with a hot cup of tea is a perfect way to spend pleasant winter evenings. Usha's recipe ended my search for a M/W masala peanut recipe. These addictive pop-ins are tremendously tasty, yet fabulously fast to make. My version takes about six-and-a-half to seven minutes in my M/W. This recipe serves three.
Ingredients:
- Peanuts: (1 cup)
- Besan/Gram flour: 1/2 of 1/4 cup i.e., 1/8 of a cup
- Rice flour: 1/8 of a cup
- Jeera: 1 tsp
- Oil: 11/2tbsp
- Salt: 1/2 tsp + one pinch (or to taste)
- Hing: 2 pinches
- Water: 1/8 of a cup - to sprinkle
- Chilli powder: 1/2 tsp
- Garam masala powder: 2 pinches
- Saunf (optional): 1/2 tsp
Method:
- Mix all dry ingredients in a large M/W bowl
- Add oil and mix well
- Now sprinkle water little by little. This would mean some parts would turn into a lump. It is ok
- Mix well
- M/W for one minute
- Now using a spoon, remove the lumps
- Mix again and M/W for another minute
- Keep M/W ing (30-40 seconds at a time) and mixing till the nuts turn dark brown
- Let it stand for about ten minutes
- M/W Masala peanuts are ready!
