Masala Sing Namkeen is a popular Indian snack that combines the crunchiness of roasted peanuts with a medley of spices and seasonings. This savory treat is a favorite at tea-time and a common offering during festivals and gatherings. Below, I provide detailed information on its ingredients, preparation method, and some variations to try.
Variations
- Spice Mix Variations: Customize the spice mix according to your taste. Add black pepper, curry leaves, or fennel seeds for different flavor profiles.
- Baked Version: For a healthier alternative, you can bake the coated peanuts. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and spread the batter-coated peanuts on a baking tray. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until crispy, stirring occasionally.
- Mixed Namkeen: Combine the masala peanuts with other fried or roasted ingredients like sev, boondi, roasted chana dal, or puffed rice to create a mixed namkeen snack.
