Besan Walay Peanuts

I have tried this recipe several times. Every time it becomes better and better. You can store these peanuts in airtight containers to be served later on with tea or with other namkeen. I have tried many other recipes but this one is the best one I have ever tried.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup shelled peanuts
• 1/2 cup gram flour (basen)
• 1/4 cup rice flour
• 1 tablespoon coriander powder (dhania)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (haldi)
• 1 teaspoon red pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon mango powder (amchoor)
• 1/8 teaspoon citric acid

Also needed:

• 1 cup Water as needed
• Oil to fry

Method

1. In a frying pan roast the dry peanuts on medium heat for 3-4 minutes and let it cool for few minutes.
2. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
3. Add water as needed making sure the spices and flour stick to the peanuts uniformly.
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
5. The frying pan should have at least 1 inch of oil.
6. put few drops of oil in your hand it helps dropping the peanuts before putting peanuts on the oil.
7. While putting the peanuts into oil, loosen them with your fingers to make sure the peanuts are separated and do not form lumps. Peanuts should be separated while frying.
8. Fry the peanuts until they turn light brown, turning them occasionally.
9. When they are done cooking, take them out of the oil with a slotted spoon. Place them on a paper towel to absorb the extra oil.
10. After cooling to room temperature, the peanuts should be crispy.
