Peanut masala is a starter dish which goes well with cocktails and
mocktails. This is Spicy and tangy because of adding spice powders and lemon juice. it is one of the best starter to prepare during party at home. I like every bite of this dish and always like
to have with mocktail and my favorite soft drink sprite. This is very easy to
prepare with few easily available ingredients. I always stock peanuts at home
specially to prepare this dish.
The quantity of ingredients that I have given here gives medium spicy
taste. You can increase the quantity of chilli powder as per your taste level.
