MASALA PEANUT

Recently, we had been a restaurant and had Hungama Masala over there as starter. fried peanuts with some mild gravy, was wonderful.  We liked it very much and forgot to see the ingredients and masalas described in the menu.  Never mind, I thought I will try my own version and tried it today and could not believe, the same was really tasty.  I am sharing this recipe with you and sure will love it.

If you are having the basic ingredients at home, it can be made very quickly.
