    Ingredients

    The following are the ingredients needed for preparing Masala Kadalai,

    • Raw peanuts/groundnuts - 1 cup
    • Gram flour - 2-3 tablespoons
    • Rice flour - 1 tablespoon
    • Red chilli powder - 1/2 tablespoon or as preferred
    • (Instead, Kashmiri chilli powder can also be used to give it a rich colour.)
    • Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
    • Asafoetida / hing - 1/4 teaspoon
    • Curry leaves a handful or less.
    • Salt as required
    • Water 
    • Oil for deep fry.

    Preparation Steps

     

    1. In a large bowl, add a cup of peanuts, chilli powder, asafoetida, turmeric powder, salt and mix well.
    2. Add rice flour, a tablespoon of hot oil and then add gram flour little by little and mix well by sprinkling one or two tablespoons of water. 
    3. Do not add too much water. In case if you did, you can balance the excess water by adding a little more gram flour.
    4. In a heavy bottomed pan, pour oil for frying and heat at a medium flame.
    5. When the oil is hot, take a handful of prepared mixture and drop them one by one into the oil.
    6. Based on the pan's capacity, drop in as much as you can. Fry it at low to medium flame to avoid over frying.
    7. Gently stir them and take it out in a few minutes when they are crispy. Transfer it to a strainer or tissue cloth to remove excess oil. 
    8. Repeat the same process for the entire batch of peanuts mixture.
    9. In the same pan, add a handful of curry leaves, fry them and garnish over the prepared Masala Kadalai. 
    10. If stored in an airtight container this can stay fresh for a week.
