Masala Peanuts

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roast Peanuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the raw peanuts. Roast them for about 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the peanuts are roasting, finely chop the onion and tomato. Set them aside.

  3. 3

    Cook Onions

    In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan with the onions. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.

  5. 5

    Add Spices

    Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well and cook for an additional minute to toast the spices.

  6. 6

    Combine Peanuts

    Add the roasted peanuts to the pan and mix until they are well coated with the onion-tomato mixture. Season with salt to taste.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Remove from heat and stir in chopped coriander leaves for freshness. Serve warm or at room temperature.
