So here is what to do for Masala Kadlo

You will need

250 g peanuts
125 g gram flour (besan)
2 tablespoon (25 to 30 ml) water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder
1/4 teaspoon hing (asafoetida)
Coconut Oil for Deep frying

Method

1. Mix peanuts with besan, salt, red chilli powder, and hing.

Sprinkle 2 tbsp water and mix well. Mixture should be thick and well coated on each peanut.

1. Heat oil in a frying pan. Reduce heat to medium and fry gram flour coated peanuts in batches (depends on how big ur frying pan is I fried in 2 batches as my frying wok was big enough) until golden color and crisp (Do not fry on high heat. Peanuts will get the brown color immediately and it won't cook inside).

2. Drain and place on paper towel so that it absorbs excess oil.
