Besan wali moonfali ( gramflour covered spicy peanuts )

Prep time - 2 hrs
Cooking time - 20-30 mins
Complexity - Easy

Ingredients :-

• Gram flour - 5 tbsp
• Peanuts - 1 cup
• Salt - 3 tbsp or acc to taste
• Red chilli powder - 1 tbsp or acc to taste
• Coriander powder - 1 tbsp
• Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
• Chat masala - 1 tbsp
• Black pepper powder (optional) - 1/2 tsp 
• Vegetable oil for deep frying

Method :-

Soak peanuts in water for 2 hours.

Drain all the water out of peanuts after 2 hrs. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Now add peanuts to this mixture ( remember no water with peanuts ) and mix everything properly so that peanuts are coated with dry mixture properly.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan. Put coated peanuts in oil once its hot and turn heat to medium low. This process of frying peanuts takes time. Let them cook for 10 mins on low heat or until you see them turning golden red. Take peanuts out from the pan and put them on tissue so extra oil will get absorbed by the paper. Let them cool for 10 mins. Enjoy with tea.

* Do not fry peanuts on high heat. If you do so, they will only get cooked from the outside and when you will taste them, you will find peanuts soft, not crispy.

*If you find that your peanuts are not enough spicy or salty then add extra spices ( chat masala, red chili powder, salt etc) to peanuts right after you take them out from oil that way oil on peanuts will absorb spices and your peanuts will become more spicy.
