Roasted Peanuts

If you have roasted peanuts, you may skip the above steps.

You will need to remove the shells of the peanuts by hand once it's cooled off. Throw away the shells and use the remaining to mix with the spices (1/3 cup chopped red onions, 1 tbsp diced ginger, 3-4 diced garlic cloves, 2 diced green chilies, salt, chili powder and unheated mustard oil)

Add spices

Mix well.

Quick Note I would like to pass along: It is always better to mix the spices only when you are ready to serve so as to avoid sogginess and still taste fresh and crunchy. Enjoy!
