FAQs about Fried G.Nuts Recipe

Yes, you can use raw groundnuts instead of boiling them. However, boiling the groundnuts before frying helps to soften them and reduce the frying time.

2. Can I use any oil for frying?

Vegetable oil works best for frying groundnuts as it has a neutral flavor that won’t overpower the taste of the nuts. However, you can use other oils such as peanut oil or sunflower oil if preferred.

3. How long can I store fried groundnuts?

If stored in an airtight container, fried groundnuts can last for up to a month. It is important to ensure they are completely cooled and free from any moisture before storing to maintain their crispiness.
