Masala peanuts also know Masala Kadalai or Fried Spicy Peanuts are crispy, deep fried tea-time snack. The gloomy weather tempted me to make this snack today. It was raining heavily in the night and I could here the sound of rain. It was so soothing and made me relax. It was like a lullaby and helped me fall asleep faster. I got up in the morning refreshed after a sound sleep and loved the view from my balcony. All trees and plants looked greener, I could even smell the wet earth. I was actually thinking of making some poori masala for breakfast today and saw this packet of raw peanut. So, sharing the recipe to make an addictive snack which you can enjoy with your family and friends.
