Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup un-skinned  raw sing dana/ shelled peanuts
  • 3/4 cup besan/chickpea flour
  • 2 tablespoons rice flour
  • 4 teaspoon chilli powder (more if you prefer spicy)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 2 teaspoon coarsely ground fennel/saunf
  • 2 teaspoons sanchal/black salt
  • salt to taste
  • 2-3 tablespoons oil
  • 3 tablespoons water

Method
 

  1. In a bowl mix all the ingredients, except water, together. Add water, a tablespoon at a time to make a thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to thickly coat the peanuts.
  2. On a greased microwave safe plate individually drop each of the coated peanuts.
  3. Microwave on High for 1 +1/2 minutes.
  4. Repeat the batches untill all the peanuts are cooked.
  5. Cool and store in airtight container.

Notes

  • Use good quality sing/peanuts.
  • Alternatively, if you choose not to use microwave, you may deep fry the coated peanuts untill golden brown.
  • Make sure  you don’t take it too further in microwave even few more seconds burn the peanuts from inside.
  • Rice flour gives the peanuts a good crunch and fennel is the star ingredient  of the entire recipe.
