Pick out unwanted, broken, and spoiled groundnuts from 2 cups of raw groundnuts.

Pour hot water over the groundnuts, add salt to taste, and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.

Drain the water from the groundnuts using a sieve.

Spread the groundnuts on a tray and sun-dry them.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons of powdered milk flavor, and 1/2 teaspoon of grated nutmeg; stir together.

In another bowl, break 2 medium eggs, add 3 tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt, and one cap of liquid vanilla flavor; mix well.

Add the sun-dried groundnuts to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Add the flour mixture to the groundnuts and mix well to coat them.

Sift the coated groundnuts to remove excess flour and repeat the coating process three more times, for a total of four coatings.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan until hot, then add the coated groundnuts and stir-fry at intervals to avoid burning.

Once browned and cooked, transfer the peanuts to a sieve or paper towel to drain excess oil.

Allow the coated peanuts to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
