How to Make Microwave Masala Peanuts

• In a large wide glass dish or any other microwave safe dish, mix together all the dry ingredients. Add the olive oil to this and mix well. Add water and mix well.
• Place the dish in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes initially.
• Remove, break lumps and stir the peanuts and place back in microwave and repeat this process in 1 minute increments until done.
