Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw or roasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Lime or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Prepare all the ingredients by measuring them out and keeping them ready for quick cooking.
If using raw peanuts, dry roast them in a large skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and aromatic. Set aside to cool slightly.
In the same skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat.
Add the curry powder, paprika, cumin powder, garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and sugar to the skillet. Stir constantly for about 1 minute to toast the spices lightly and release their aromas.
Add the roasted (or previously raw) peanuts to the skillet and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the lime or lemon juice over the peanuts and toss again to infuse the flavors.
If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro for added freshness and visual appeal.
Remove the curried peanuts from the skillet and allow them to cool to room temperature. The coating will become crisp as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week for a delicious snack on the go.
