Ingredients For The Perfect Sing Bhujia Recipe
When it comes to making sing bhujias, it’s as simple as mixing everything together. There are a few basic ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:
- Besan / Chickpea Flour – This gives peanuts their signature flavor. I prefer besan, however, any brand of chickpea flour will work in a pinch. Depending on the brand of flour, you might need to add more water (as stated in the recipe) to get a perfect consistency for the batter.
- Citric Acid: It is known as nimbu ka phool or nimbu ka sat. This recipe needs pinch of citric acid as it gives flavours as well as gives texture to the peanuts.
- Baking soda – This gives the peanuts batter a nice airy texture and makes the sing bhujia airy and delicious once they are fried.
- Water – This makes the peanut batter. You want a batter that is thick like heavy cream, so do keep that in mind when mixing everything together. The water called for in the recipe is more of a guide– the end result of a thick almost-runny batter is what you should truly keep in mind. This varies due to climate and brand of flour used.
- Peanuts – Wait, do you call them sing, singa, singdana, मूँगफली (Mungphali), or something else? I refer to them as singa or Singdana and often use all two terms interchangeably. Ultimately, I adore them in any way, Roasted or Boiled or Fried even.
Ingredients for Masala / spices mix powder
The masala is the most magical part of the recipe, as hint of Amchur powder combine with flavorful other spices mix with salt, and then drizzled over the top of the crispy and crunchy peanuts.
- Kashmiri Red chili powder
- Black Pepper Powder
- Coriander Powder
- Black salt
- Dry Mango / Amchur Powder
- Salt
- Cinnamon Powder

Trouble shootings
Why my Sing Bhujia Turn Red in Colour?
The oil temperature is too high. Use of more baking soda also make them red.
Be careful not to fry the peanuts at too high a temperature or they will red too quickly on the outside and the peanuts itself will remain raw inside.
Why my Sing Bhujia Remain Soft?
Fry it on medium low flame will make it crisp.
Why my Sing Bhujia became too oily?
While frying, make sure to not over-crowd the pan/kadahi with peanut batter – this will lower the temperature of the oil and you might end up with greasy sing bhujia (there’s nothing worse than a greasy sing bhujia!).
Why my Sing Bhujia Turn soggy after frying?
Don’t use paper napkin to drain your sing bhujias – when it comes to fried foods, paper napkin simply makes fried foods steam and get soggy. To ensure your peanuts stay crisp, drain them on a zara over a pan. This will allow the excess oil to drain without making them soggy.
What if I don’t have Citric Acid?
You can replace it with 1/4 tsp Lemon Juice.
How to store Sing Bhujia?
Store the sing bhujia in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep well for 2-4 weeks. Always store them in an airtight container to prevent it from becoming soggy.

In a large bowl, mix together the besan, baking soda, salt and citric acid.
Slowly add in the water, while mixing with a whisk or your fingertips. Vigorously mix for a couple of seconds. The batter should be thick, yet runny like heavy cream.
Whisk it for 2-3 minutes until it become light and fluffy.
Add the peanuts to the besan batter and fold everything together with a spoon or spatula to coat each peanut. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
In a Bowl Combine Kashmiri Red chili powder, Black Pepper Powder, coriander Powder, Black salt, Amchur Powder, Salt, Cinnamon Powder in a bowl and mix well.
Keep it aside.
To deep fry the peanuts, heat oil in a pan/kadahi suitable for deep frying.
The oil temperature should register 160°C. I like the clean flavor of sunflower oil, but any neutral-tasting oil like peanut, canola, or vegetable oil would work perfectly here.
Once the oil is heated, carefully place in one broad ladle of peanut batter into the hot oil and quickly stir the batter with another wooden spatula or belan.
This will prevent to sticking peanuts with each other. (Watch Video Carefully for this step).
Deep fry them in small batches on medium low flame, around 7-8 minutes per batch or until crispy on the outside and cooked all the way through.
Drain the peanuts well with zara and transfer in a bowl.
Immediately sprinkle some prepared masala powder on them and mix well.
Repeat the same with the remaining of the batter.
Once cooled, store the sing bhujia in an airtight container at room temperature.
It will keep well for 2-4 weeks.
