How to Prepare Fried Groundnuts?

Fried groundnuts, also known as peanuts, are a popular snack enjoyed by people around the world. While traditional methods of frying peanuts can be time-consuming and require constant attention, the advent of professional automatic frying machines has simplified the process significantly. But how to prepare fried groundnuts? In this article, we will walk you through the steps to prepare delicious and crispy fried groundnuts using a professional automatic frying machine.
 

Step 1: Selecting and cleaning the groundnuts
Start by choosing high-quality raw groundnuts. Look for ones that are uniform in size, firm, and free from any signs of spoilage.
 
Step 2: Preheating the frying machine
Before you begin frying, ensure that your automatic frying machine is clean and in proper working condition. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for preheating the machine. Typically, you will need to set the temperature to around 180-200°C (356-392°F) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
 
Step 3: Drying the groundnuts
After rinsing the groundnuts, it's essential to dry them thoroughly before frying. Gently pat them dry or allow them to air dry for about 10-15 minutes. Excess moisture can affect the frying process and result in less crispy peanuts.
 
Step 4: Adding groundnuts to the frying machine
Once the frying machine is preheated and the groundnuts are dry, carefully add them to the frying machine.
 
Step 5: Frying process
Generally, groundnuts require around 15-20 minutes to achieve a golden-brown and crispy texture. However, the cooking time may vary depending on your machine and personal preferences. Keep an eye on the peanuts as they fry, ensuring they don't burn. Some frying machines have built-in timers and automatic shut-off features, which can be handy.
 
Step 6: Seasoning and cooling
Once the groundnuts reach the desired color and texture, carefully remove them from the frying machine. Using salt, chili powder, garlic powder, or any other flavorings you like. Toss the peanuts gently to coat them evenly.
 
With the help of a professional automatic frying machine, preparing crispy and delicious fried groundnuts has become easier than ever. Follow these simple steps to ensure that your peanuts turn out perfectly fried every time. Experiment with different seasonings and enjoy the versatile snack on various occasions.
