1 tsp. Chat Masala
4 tsp. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. Hungarian paprika
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground cayenne
1/2 tsp. peppermint leaves, powdered
1/4 C. peanut oil
2 C. raw peanuts

In a small bowl, mix together Chat Masala, powdered sugar, paprika, kosher salt, peppermint leaves, cayenne and set aside. In a large frying pan over 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 spice has been thoroughly mixed onto the peanuts.

To make Chat Masala: Mix 4 tsp. toasted and ground cumin seeds with 2 tsp. Amchor. Add 2 tsp. Cayenne, 1 tsp. each powdered mint leaves, black pepper and kosher salt, ¼ tsp. asafetida, and ¾ tsp. black salt (optional). Mix well and store in airtight container.
