Microwave masala peanuts recipe

Microwave masala peanuts recipe | Masala peanuts are an quite addictive snack. I have posted a deep-fried version of Masala peanuts but this is a low-calorie version of making in the microwave. It is quite addictive and a perfect tea-time snack too. Sometimes if you run out of veggies this can be had with sambar rice or curd rice too. Try out this microwave version of salted masala peanuts (a guilt-free low-fat snack) and enjoy your Tea time. I adapted this recipe from Nisha madulika’s video.

  1. HI Jeya,

    Hope you are doing good. Wanted to ask do we need to add baking soda or powder in it (as description and list of ingredients contradict each other).
    I just made one batch using baking soda, it came out absolutely wonderful.
    Thanks for the recipe.
