I had earlier posted a baked version of masala peanuts that is always a super hit in my house. When I came across a similar recipe in Mallika Badrinath book using the microwave, I had to try it. This would be the way to go if you are making a small batch and do not want to heat up the oven. The peanuts were crunchy and as always it was gone in no time. Off to the recipe.
