Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw shelled peanuts
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 100 milliliters Water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rice flour, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Gradually add the water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Add the raw peanuts to the batter and stir gently to ensure they are fully coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don't have a thermometer, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Carefully drop small batches of coated peanuts into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until the peanuts are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried peanuts from the oil, placing them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Allow the peanuts to cool completely before serving to ensure maximum crunchiness.
Store any leftover peanuts in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
