Heat oil in a pan with garlic cloves in it.
In a bowl mix together peanuts, salt, besan, rice flour, red chilly powder and food colour.
Sprinkle water and bind the ingredients.
It must not be too thick or too thin.
Take handful of mixture and drop the peanuts one by one carefully in oil. Do it gently, otherwise the oil will splutter.
Fry on medium flame until the crust is brown.
Drain oil and transfer to a plate.
Once all the peanuts are done, add the curry leaves and fry until crisp.
Add it to the peanuts and mix well.
Discard the garlic.
Once completely cool, serve it in airtight box and serve along with a cup of coffee.
