Raja Masala

Raja Masala is a quick and easy snack made out of groundnuts(peanuts). Have heard that it goes well with Chilled Beer. It tastes good with coffee too, especially on a cold winter evening.

Ingredients Required:
Three handfuls of dry roasted, skinned peanuts
One handful of finely chopped onions
Two finely chopped green chillies
Quarter tsp. red chilli powder(Chat masala-optional)
Salt, lemon and coriander leaves to taste

Time Taken: 5 minutes

Serves about 4 people.

Method of Preparation:
Mix the ingredients mentioned above in the given order. Make sure the peanuts are crispy(kurkure). The less-health conscious people could use deep fried peanuts(obviously, it would enhance the taste). Chatpata raja masala is now yours to savour.

Note: Snacks of similar types can be prepared by replacing peanuts with sprouted moong(raw uncooked or partially cooked green gram varieties) or cooked chana(chickpea).
