Ingredients
- 500 grams raw peanuts
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons rice flour
- 2 tablespoons corn flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 500 milliliters oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the raw peanuts thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and debris.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the water and salt, stirring until the salt is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Add the rinsed peanuts to the saltwater and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This will help the flavors adhere better and ensure even seasoning.
Step 4
Drain the peanuts thoroughly and spread them on a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water. Pat them dry gently.
Step 5
In another bowl, mix the rice flour, corn flour, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Step 6
Add the peanuts to the bowl with the dry mixture and toss well to coat all the peanuts evenly.
Step 7
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test by dropping a small piece of the coating mixture; it should sizzle and rise immediately.
Step 8
Carefully add the coated peanuts to the hot oil using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, preferably in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 9
Fry the peanuts for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove the fried peanuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 11
Repeat the frying process with the remaining peanuts.
Step 12
Allow the fried peanuts to cool completely before serving, as they will crisp up further on cooling.
Step 13
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
