Masala Peanuts
from $9.50
What is Masala Peanuts? It's ameei's take on the classic Indian bar snack: plump peanuts coated in a fiery gram-flour crust, roasted rather than fried, until they turn a deep crimson and shatter with a satisfying crunch. Garlic, black salt, and cumin sit inside that crust alongside red chili powder, all bound together with cold-pressed mustard oil instead of the deep-fried batter most masala peanuts rely on, so the flavor stays sharp without the greasy aftertaste. Spice level three out of three makes this one of the hotter mixes in the range, closer to a bar snack built for chili lovers than a mild afternoon nibble. It pairs naturally with a cold drink, works as a standalone bowl at a gathering, or gets crushed over a quick chaat for extra crunch and heat. Most people don't stop at one handful, and the crust is exactly why.
