2. Rinse the raw peanuts under cold water to remove any dirt or debris and drain well.
3. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the peanuts to the hot oil. Fry in small batches to ensure even cooking.
4. Fry the peanuts for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
5. Using a slotted spoon or a wire mesh skimmer, remove the peanuts from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
