The Method
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2
In a large bowl, combine peanuts, besan, rice flour, chili powder, turmeric powder, amchur powder, garam masala, and salt.
- 3
Add oil to the peanut mixture and mix well, ensuring all peanuts are coated.
- 4
Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the spices adhere well to the peanuts. Do not add too much water, the peanuts should not be swimming in it. You just want a slight coating.
- 5
Spread the peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the peanuts are crispy and golden brown. Stir occasionally to ensure even roasting.
- 7
Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The peanuts will crisp up further as they cool.
- 8
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Chef's Tips
For a spicier snack, add more chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Ensure the peanuts are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting.
Don't over-bake the peanuts, as they will become bitter. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes of roasting.
You can also air fry these peanuts for about 10-12 minutes at 360F, shaking the basket frequently.
