This baked version of Masala Peanuts is not only easy to prepare but tasty and healthy too.Lets see how to make these crunchy,spicy Masala peanuts.

Ingredients:

Peanuts	1 cup
Gram flour(Besan)	3 tblsp
Rice flour	1 tblsp
Chilli powder	¼ tsp
Saunf(optional)	¼ tsp
Asafoetida powder	a pinch
Salt	as needed

Oil	2 tsp

Method:

• Take the Besan,rice flour,chilli powder,saunf,salt,Asafoetida in a bowl and mix well.
• In a wide bowl take the peanuts and sprinkle water (2-3 tblsp) slowly so that all the peanuts become wet.
• Now add the dry flour mix to the peanuts and mix well with your hands.If you feel its very dry you can sprinkle little water.Finally add 2 tsp oil and mix well.
• Spread this on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for 10-12 mins.
• Once done take the tray out and cool it on the counter.Crunchy peanuts are ready to enjoy with your Tea/Coffee !

Note:

• Don't add any water to the flour mix.Add water only to the peanuts so that the dry flour mix can easily coat the peanuts.
• I have given the approximate time only.Once you start hearing crackling sound of the peanuts be alert and check for its doneness.
