Ingredients and method to make microwave masala peanuts.
2 1/4 cup of raw peanuts
1/2 cup besan ( gram flour)
1/4 cup rice flour
1/4 cup moong flour
2 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 tsp hing powder
2-3 tsp of corn oil or mazola oil
Chili powder to taste ( I use about 3/4 tsp which makes it about medium spicy)
salt to taste ( I use about 2 tsp)
3/4 cup of water.
1.Place the raw peanuts in a microwave safe bowl.Put in all the flours and spices and mix all the dry ingredients well.Lastly put the water and oil and mix it in well.
2.Place the bowl in the microwave, cook till done.It takes about 7-12 minutes depending on the microwave.After every minute the ingredients in the bowl need to be stirred and initially it may tend to form large lumps and it needs to be broken off with a fork.
Also a point to note is that at the end of this time the peanuts need to be cooled for a few minutes since they seem to be softer when they are warm and the crispiness can be assessed better when cool.This snack has a good shelf life and can be stored for 8-10 days in an airtight container.
