Instructions
Prepare the Masala
- Mix gram flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, asafoetida, and baking soda in a bowl.
Combine with Peanuts

Air Fry the Peanuts
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Spread the masala peanuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the peanuts are golden brown and crispy.
Cool and Garnish
- Remove the peanuts from the air fryer and let them cool completely. Once cool, sprinkle with amchur powder and optional garam masala or black salt. Serve and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These masala peanuts are delicious as a snack, appetizer, or party treat. They pair wonderfully with tea, coffee, or your favorite beverage.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Masala Peanuts
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: This ensures even cooking and prevents the peanuts from steaming instead of crisping.
- Adjust spice levels: Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your liking. For a milder snack, reduce the amount or omit it entirely.
- Experiment with flavors: Add other spices such as cumin powder, coriander powder, or even a pinch of sugar for a sweet and savory twist.
- Storage: Store leftover masala peanuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the freezer for longer storage.
