Makkalbeej is a Konkani name for fried besan coated peanuts. This is a delicious snack which can be cooked by anyone easily. It is a very simple recipe requiring minimum ingredients and can be prepared in quite less time.
Besan i.e. chickpea flour which is used to coat the peanuts, gives it a delicious flavour and crunch. Makkalbeej make for a delicious snack at tea time or even during parties. It is a snack my mom always made during Diwali since my childhood and is one of my favourites!
