Salt                                                               to taste
Chilli powder                                           to taste
Chickpea flour (besan)                         just enough to coat the nuts

Rice flour                                                    just enough to coat the nuts

Method:
  • Wash the peanuts and drain into a colander.
  • Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
  • Add salt and chilli powder according to your needs and give a nice toss,so that salt,chilli powder gets well coated.
  • Rest it for 1-2 hours
  • Sprinkle besan,rice flour just enough to coat,again toss it to help the nuts gets well coated,else u can do it with a spatula.
  • Place the coated nuts on a micro safe glass dish evenly and microwave on high gor 2 minutes
  • Give a nice stir to the nuts,again micro for 2 minutes.Do this taking in between breaks for a total 10 minutes.Let it rest in microwave for 10 more minutes even after the process is done as the warmth helps the nuts to turn crisp.
