Foxtail Millet Masala Peanuts Recipe – Crispy Millet Coated Snack

Foxtail Millet Masala Peanuts are a flavorful and crunchy snack that combines roasted peanuts with a spiced millet coating. By using foxtail millet flour, this recipe adds extra fiber and nutrients compared to regular coated peanuts.

The peanuts are first roasted, then coated in a seasoned batter made with millet flour, gram flour, and spices, and finally deep-fried until crisp. Finished with a sprinkle of chaat masala, this snack delivers a perfect balance of crunch and spice, making it ideal for evening snacks, travel, or festive servings.
