Ingredients
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 tsp dried chilli flakes
- 2 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 tsp raw sugar
- 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 limes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1½ cups raw peanuts
Makes 1½ cups
Instructions
Place the coriander and cumin seeds, chilli flakes and salt in a small frying pan over medium-high heat and toast (tossing occasionally) until aromatic and lightly toasted (60–90 seconds). Coarsely grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.
Tip into a bowl, add the raw sugar and sesame seeds, then grate over the lime zest (making sure to catch the oils in the bowl). Stir to combine well.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the peanuts, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden (about 2 minutes). Drain well and lightly pat with paper towel. While still hot, toss the peanuts in the spice mix and enjoy warm.
