A healthy and scrumptious all time snack

Ingredients:

Peanuts  2 cups
salt -to taste
water -to sprinkle

Method:

• place the peanuts in a wide bowl and add the salt(to your taste) .
• sprinkle a little water such that the salt dissolves and stick to the peanuts
• Let stand for 5mins.

Spread the nuts on a clean kitchen towel and let stand for another couple of mins.This is to drain out any excess water.

transfer the nuts to a thick bottomed frying pan and keep tossing them every few secs.The heat should be at a minimum low.

Its a slow process so have patience,soon the skins would start to peel,keep tossing the nuts.

The nuts would start to crack in the middle.Keep tossing for few more minutes.transfer the nuts to a dry plate and let stand  for a while.the nuts will be kind of chewy when hot.

when the nuts have cooled down completely they will turn crunchy.store them in a air tight container to preserve the crunchiness.

A tasty and guilt free tea time or anytime snack.
