Peanuts Masala | Masala Kadalai In Microwave

    Peanuts Masala -a tasty ,healthy,easy South Indian snack.Masala kadalai is nothing but peanuts coated in besan/chickpea flour with some Indian spices then deep fried. High cholesterol peanuts don't need to be fried again(for me ) ? so i microwaved the peanuts until they are done.That's a perfect evening snack, ready in minutes.

    In south India,roadside shops to bakery sell these masala peanuts.Dad used to buy these,when we were kids.We loved it a lot.Lots of memories associated with these masala peanuts.Here in US ,i don't find these kind of masala peanuts.Even if i find ,that's not going to be microwaved?More over making anything at home gives me lot of pleasure and satisfaction.So i made it and  i am sharing with all of you.

  3. My weakness will always be anything spicy. I've thought about something similar but got lost along the way. Like the beautiful spiced and curry leaves flavors.
