Coating Process

The whole mixing will happen in the bowl where the groundnuts are.

1. Add 2 tbsp of egg mix into the groundnut and shake the bowl to mix. Do not mix with hands.

You will see that the eggs have coated the groundnut because the groundnuts will be shinning

2. Pour 2 handful of the flour mix (milk flavor and little salt) into the (groundnut-egg) and mix lightly with hand and then mix thoroughly by shaking the whole container.

* Repeat these (Flour, Egg mixture and shake) process until the egg mixture and flour finishes.

By the time you are repeating the process the third time, you would have already seen it coating.

Then Fry at medium heat until golden brown in colour. Let it cool and serve immediately.

    1. But, Don’t I need to wash the peanuts? Cause I’d love to wash it. I mean it won’t spoil anything if the peanuts are still wet from washing right?

      1. Hello Pinky,
        Thank you for reaching out to me. Im so happy. Ok!
        You can wash it. However, after washing, you must take the pain to dry it either sun drying or any other way. Dont forget, you are using a raw groundnut and not processed one.
        Make sure you reach out back to me how it went.

        Warm Regards.
        Chef Wale

    1. Hello Azzez,
      Thank you for reaching out to me. I appreciate you. Whenever I make peanut burgers, I don’t add preservatives and that’s because once it is stored in bottles (Airtight), It can stay up to a month.
      However, if you want to probably store for months, get preservatives (sodium benzoate) from the general market and add to flour However, be very careful adding preservatives. very minute. I use half teaspoon for 5 cups but almost all the time, I use none.

    1. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! No water please. THERE ARE 3 BOWLS: 1. THE FLOUR 2. THE EGG MIXTURE: beaten egg, flavour and sugar 3. The Raw Groundnut. Mix as instructed. Thanks though; I love seeing replies… kisses

  10. thanks so much for sharing this, but there is one thing that is cleared, we all know that raw groundnuts are not easy peal but in the process of trying to peal it won’t it break? or is there a way of pealing it

    1. Hello Eniola,
      I never made mention of peeling it. Just process it like that. After frying, the skin will stick to the flour you wrapped it in. Thanks for getting across to the chef.

      2. Hello chef wale I tasted a peanut n it was so soft. Mine is hard. How can I make it soft n which quantity of corn flour do I add

        Reply

        1. Hello Ekene,

          You need to be specific. How do you mean soft? What are the characteristics? is it cruchy, or have a thin layer? Except a peanut burger is toasted or airfried, I don’t expect it to be soft.

    1. Hello Mercy,
      Thanks for reaching out. I would actually love to try it fist, Also, I found out that mixing a little margarine works but be careful!!!!!! so it doesn’t wash away the flour (very small). Also, corn flour does the job too.

  30. Hi chef can I use roasted peanuts for this and can I still peel off the skin of the roasted peanuts before using it thank you

    Reply

    1. Hello Khadijat,

      Thanks for reaching out. NO. i don’t use roasted; You can try it however.
      About peeling off the skin, No need. This is because when the peanut is fried and you want to eat, the skin will attach itself to the inner part of the coat thereby unpeeling itself. Love from the Chef.

    1. Hello tosin,

      Thanks for reaching out. Corn flour is just 3-4 tablespoons if you are doing 500g of flour. Flour is the bulk of the pastry. Happy Weekend.

    1. Hello Dan,

      The peanuts are joining because you probably dump the egg mixture in the groundnut. It is drizzled and you let it trickle down the spoon all over the groundnut. If dumped in one area, when the flour comes in, the whole area will clump together.

      When that is achieved and few still clump together, you can manually separate by hand.

      Thank you for reaching out.

  50. I tried it and it came out nicely but the 2 capfull of flavour was too much on the taste. Also, I tried packaging to sell but the yield was less than the cost of the production.

    Reply

    1. Hello Jacinta;

      Thank you for trying my recipe.

      Actually, before you package and try to sell. You should know about Pricing and have a lot of Knowledge about sales.

      I will advice you take a course in business administration.

      That said, these are the things you should put into consideration

      1. The peanut recipe is HOME-MADE, so price would be on the high side.
      2. Before you put a price tag on it, you need to put into consideration the cost of EVERYTHING that went into bringing out your packaged product from logistic to brand etc Then, multiply by 4 or 5
      3. Also understand that before you can actually see good profit, its either you make in Large quantity or you make it expensive (Work on your brand)

      See my food business category for more information.

    1. Thanks Ifunaya. I would prepare you use milk flavour. If you are going commercial, you must think of expenses, equity and Profit.
      However, if it is just for the family or the customer is paying, you can use little condensed milk.

  76. Chef wale your peanut is so nice.. I tried mine today but the groundnut inside is still not dry.. Why is it like that..explain more to me please

    Reply

    1. Hello Chacha.

      Thank you for the compliment. Ok, The groundnut you used is not toasted; you fried it with; So don’t expect it to be to come out as hard.

      For it to be hard, don’t eat it while it is hot. Let it cool down for hours. You probably ate it too soon.. lollllll

  80. Thank you Chef Wale. I would like to know the following
    1. Which is the best sugar to use? confectioner or granulated?
    2. Can i used a powdered vanila flavour?
    3. Can i add milk and milk flavour

    Thanks for your kind response

    Reply

    1. Thank you for reaching out;
      For Sugar: Think about Cost of production and these will help you to choose.
      You can add powder vanilla flavour to the Flour but I prefer liquid flavour to the egg mixture
      Milk flavor is good. It can be missed with the vanilla flavour.

      Have a nice weekend.

  82. Thank you Chef Wake. I tried it and it came out pretty nice and taste well but I can still perceive the grounding oil aroma on it. Why?

  86. I’m about trying out this recipe, I can’t wait to comment positively.

    I’ve been trying to make peanuts for sometime but most recipes I came across seemed quite complex.

    Thank you, Chef Wale

    1. Hello Modupe. The real question is: why do you want to soak it in hot water for 15mins? Is it to kill microorganisms or are you trying to develop a new type of peanut burger?

      As I always say, there are no rules in cooking. Please do that and let me know the outcome However, for me, I don’t soak.

  90. Thank you so much for this recipe. I really wanted to make peanut burger cause by kids love it. but please i really want to know if it can be backed cause my hubby doesn’t eat fried things. thanks

    Reply

    1. Hello Ella, I will prefer you say roast. Groundnut has a lot of oil naturally within it. So, I’m so positive t can be baked.

      You could just check it peridically and shake to bake evenly. Ps: I have not baked before but I know its possible.

      Let me know the feedback. Cheers!

  98. Hey Chef Wale. I don’t know how to thank you! I made peanut burger some days ago, came out terrible…it wasn’t smooth at all and I guess I packed too much cinammon so the taste was something else. Almost gave up on trying but here you are giving it back to me! I’ll try again tomorrow with your recipe. Keep up the good work.

  102. Thanks Chef Wale. I tried it but it looked as if the groundnut inside was not well cooked and it didn’t give me the same size as I wanted. Please why was it so?

    Reply

    1. Hello Lillian and Merry Christmas

      1. Peanut burger is not supposed to be eaten while hot. Before you can feel the hardened groundnut, it must be well cooled.

      2. You fried the flour covered groundnut and you expect it to feel like the one that is roasted?

      3. Lastly, the size is dependent on the amount of flour used in covering it and the size of the groundnut itself.
