Tips & Secrets
- Using rice flour is the absolute secret to achieving a long-lasting crunch in Masala Peanuts.
- Sprinkling water instead of pouring it is mandatory to maintain a thin and even coating.
- Fry on a consistent medium flame; high heat will burn the gram flour while the peanut stays raw.
- Allowing the peanuts to cool for at least an hour ensures the brittle snap is at its peak.
