Masala Peanuts Recipe

This is a popular bar munchies at Indian restaurants. It goes good with a cold glass of India Pale Beer, or a cup of Garam Chai (Sweetened hot tea latte). The dish varies slightly with the chosen peanuts. I don't like Dry roasted peanuts. During dry-roasting, the oil is extracted away leaving behind a very different texture. I have chosen un-salted roasted shell-on peanuts. They are cheap and readily available at most of the stores.

Masala peanuts are served in a ramekin dish with a spoon.

1. Roasted Peanuts: 1¼ Cup

Shelled, without skin.

Washed. Pick leafs, discard stems.

9. Lime juice: 2 Tablespoons

Method

1. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan at medium.

2. Add peanuts. Stir around about two to four minutes. You need the peanuts to get warm.
