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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rice flour, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the raw peanuts to the batter and stir gently to ensure they are fully coated.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Allow the peanuts to cool completely before serving to ensure maximum crunchiness.
Step 8
Store any leftover peanuts in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
