Masala Peanuts, Bangalore Style!

IMG_0139_opt

Firey, sweet, tangy… this is everything you want from a bar snack and SO much MORE!!!!

Ok, so it’s one of my “nostalgia” snacks… again.. taking me back to my young, free and single days, hanging around the Bangalore club on a balmy evening, sun setting, cold beer and THESE oh-so-spicy peanuts in front of me… they are just TOO special…

 

These are a perfect start to a fun, summer evening… bare in mind the spice quotient here… I like these extra chilli… because I can take it, however, for guests, and my own husband, I would seriously go down on the chilli… you could always add more once they’ve tried it and ask you to show you how it’s REALLY done! ,)

Masala Peanuts, Bangalore style… and don’t you just love my tray…?

I picked this tray up from an Indian restaurant in Stockholm!!! I saw it on the counter, they were using them for service so I stopped the harried waitress in her tracks to ask her if they happen to sell these delightful trays and she said YES!! ALWAYS ask is my motto!!!

Ok, so coming back to these humble peanuts… there’s no proper way to cut things up here… just roughly chop and throw them all together in a pan…dry roasting the peanuts before you chuck in the onions, coriander, chilli powder, salt and lemon… and that’s it!

Masala Peanuts, getting to the “Bangalore” stage!!
