I use to make this all the time before but for some lazy reason never posted it in my blog.. :) Well then, this would be a perfect time to snack on them.. or do we seriously need a special time to snack..? won't u agree..?? :)

I had store bought, Dry Roasted Peanuts in my Pantry.. Good for me.. :)) Now, this recipe is such a simple one and only takes less than 10 mins to actually make them.. And the best part no oil is used , cooks in microwave in minutes.. Now, The moral of this post "Always stock Peanuts at home" :)
