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)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients by measuring them out and keeping them ready for quick cooking.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Drizzle the lime or lemon juice over the peanuts and toss again to infuse the flavors.

Step 7

If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro for added freshness and visual appeal.

Step 8

Remove the curried peanuts from the skillet and allow them to cool to room temperature. The coating will become crisp as they cool.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week for a delicious snack on the go.
