Crunchy Peanuts

This crunchy peanuts is very nice time pass. Last Saturday when my daughter was asking me some thing to ate I thought of this because it takes only 3 min to make. We can serve this even with chopped onion, green chilly, coriander leaves and lemon juice, if you want you can add chat masala also.

• Peanut - 1cup
• Gram flour or Besan - 1cup
• Rice Flour - 1tsp
• Salt - to taste
• Asafoetida - a pinch
• Zera powder - 1tsp
• Oil - 1tsp
• Water - 1tsp
  
• Pudina leaves - a small bunch

1. In a big bowl mix all together except water.
   
2. Add water little by little.
3. In a microwave safe plate, apply oil and put the peanut mixture in it as one layer.
4. Keep in high for 3min and mix in between.

Tips : After taking out from the microwave wait till it cool-down. Otherwise it won't be crunchy.
