Masala Peanut is a flavorful and crunchy snack rooted in Indian cuisine. Made by coating raw peanuts with a spiced chickpea flour batter and deep frying until golden, this snack bursts with bold flavors from turmeric, chili powder, cumin, and sometimes curry leaves or garlic. It’s a popular street food and party favorite, often enjoyed with tea or served as a crunchy topping for salads and chaat. While Masala Peanut is rich in protein thanks to the peanuts, its deep-fried preparation adds significant calories and unhealthy fats. Peanuts also provide essential nutrients like magnesium, potassium, and healthy fats, but moderation is key to avoid excess sodium and saturated fat from the frying process. Oven-baked or air-fried versions can offer a more nutritious alternative without compromising on taste, making Masala Peanut a versatile choice for mindful snacking or indulgent treat moments.
