Step 3
Start mixing it slowly.
Step 4
Next, add water little by little to form a sticky mixture. Be very careful in this step. It will look sticking to each other, its okay.
Step 5
Heat a kadai with enough oil to fry in hot oil - sprinkle and add the peanut mixture in small batches. While adding itself separate and add. Cook in medium high flame for a minute then turn over. While turning, if it looks sticking separate it. Flip over and cook until crisp and golden brown. Repeat to finish. Switch off and fry curry leaves at the end.
Step 6
Garnish masala peanuts with fried curry leaves.
Tip
The binding point is everything — cook the mixture just until it holds shape when pressed. Overcooked, it turns hard; undercooked, it crumbles.
