If you are from Karnataka or have visited karnataka and eaten churumuri (puffed rice spice mixture you get from street vendors), you know what I am talking about. Traditionally peanuts are dry roasted and skin removed and then spiced up. I am giving the version of using already roasted and skinned peanuts. This is very easy, but very tasty and can be addictive.
Ingredients:
Method:
Dry roast the curry leaves till crisp. Set aside. Heat oil in the same pan. When hot, add hing and then add peanuts. Stir to coat oil. Keep the pan on low heat and add turmeric, pepper powder, salt. Mix well and add rasam powder if using and sugar.Stir well and adjust the seasonings. Meanwhile, crush the dried curry leaves and add it to the mixture and after a minute or two turn off the heat. You can snack on this as is or make churmuri and eat.
Happy Cooking.
