Little Devils recipe

2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 teaspoons chili powder
2 to 3 teaspoons ground dried red chile
1 teaspoon salt, or more, to taste
1 pound (3 cups) raw peanuts

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a heavy skillet, warm the oil over low heat. Add the garlic, and saut� it briefly until it has softened. Stir in the chili powder, chile and salt, and mix well. Sprinkle in the peanuts, and stir to coat them. Transfer the peanuts to a baking sheet. Bake them 10 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.

Transfer them to absorbent paper. Let them cool before serving. Stored in a closed jar, the peanuts will keep several weeks.
