Air Fryer Masala Peanut Bhujia

Served with cocktails, mocktails or with your afternoon tea, this popular,snack is now guilt free! It is also gluten free and protein rich.

Traditionally the popular masala peanut bhujias are deep fried. They are so hard to resist in the stores! But I knew that once I bought them, I would open the package in the car itself and go through the entire bag even before I reached home 🙂

Ever since I got the air fryer, I have wanted to try making this popular snack in it. I had previously posted my microwave recipe called Masala Peanut Bhujia in 4 ½ minutes, which my family loved.

I used a very similar recipe again using the saunf/aniseed and carom seeds for both taste and help with digestion. I had laddoo besan which is a coarser besan, so used that instead of the besan/ chickpea flour or the kala chana besan.

I toasted the peanuts in oil with the spices, for 2 minutes in the air fryer

Then coated them with the rest of the ingredients and put them back in the airfryer for another 8 minutes.

The results were superb and the plate full of peanut bhujias vanished in no time! But air frying it makes it a guilt free, healthy, protein rich snack and it is so easy to make.

Both Indfused’s microwave and air fryer recipes work great. The texture is slightly different. So do try both and tell me which one you like better!

These are fun for car rides and weekend picnics as well. Pack the cooled peanut bhujias in airtight bags or containers so they stay crisp.

Enjoy!

Love,
