Get some Peanuts in a mixing bowl.
Add Gram Flour, Corn Flour, Red Chili Powder, Black Pepper Powder, Garam Masala Powder, Turmeric Powder, Salt, and Oil (2 tsp) to it.
Mix it well using a spoon.
Now, add Water to this mixture and prepare a thick batter to it.
Heat some Oil in a Kadai for deep-frying. Make sure the flame is not too high.
Fry the Peanuts in batches.
Take them out in a plate and sprinkle some Chaat Masala Powder on top.
Serve them with a hot cup of tea or store them in an air-tight container.
- When you deep-fry peanuts in hot Oil, do not fry them till they are completely done. Remove them 5-10 seconds before they get the perfect color. The cooking process will continue even after you remove them in a plate.
