This recipe is extremely simple to prepare. Few tips and variation for this crisp and easy peanut bhujia recipe.
Firstly while preparing the spice coating using the flours, add the water in a small quantity so that it becomes a lump and sticks to the peanuts. We do not want a thin batter here. It has to be a thick paste.
Secondly, i have added baking soda to the spice coating which is not mandatory. And if you do not wish to add it, it may be ignored. Also deep fry these peanuts in a low flame so that it gets cooked evenly. otherwise, the outer layer may get cooked faster with peanuts still raw on the inside.
Lastly, store these Peanut bhujia in an airtight container for a better shelf life and to maintain freshness for a month.
