Ingredients: 1 tbsp. Chat Masala ½ tsp. Hungarian sweet paprika ½ tsp. powdered dried peppermint leaves 2 cups raw peanuts with skin 4 tsp. powdered sugar ½ tsp. kosher salt ½ tsp. cayenne ¼ cup peanut oil

In a large frying pan over a medium high heat, warm the peanut oil. Add peanuts and fry, stirring and tossing until the peanuts brown and begin to crack, about 6-7 minutes. Strain peanuts in a colander to drain the oil. Transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle in the spice mixture in small quantities and carefully toss. Repeat until all of the spices have been thoroughly mixed onto the peanuts. Serving Suggestions: Serve warm or at room temperature.
