Preparation:
Soak peanuts in a cup of water for 10-12 minutes.
Sieve flour along with chili powder, salt, turmeric, chat masala and soda to mix well.
Add sieved mixture into a mixing bowl and mix in jeera and oil.
Into the above flour mixture, add drained peanuts and mix well so that all the peanuts are coated with flour. If the mixture seems dry and powdery, sprinkle a teaspoon or less of water and mix.
Spray/rub some oil onto a microwavable plate (dinner plate) and spread the peanuts on it in a single layer.
Microwave for 5-6 minutes based on the wattage of the microwave. If it is a high power one, try using at 80% power until the peanuts are well roasted. (Hint: you can smell the roasted aroma) Also halfway through, take out the plate and separate out the peanuts so they roast evenly.
Your homemade peanut poppers are ready for any party or get together.
