Spicy cashews are great as a holiday party snack or simply to munch on anytime. Spicy cashews can be quite addicting – they are that good. This simple and delicious recipe will make a great holiday gift too!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups raw cashew nuts
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper
- 1 teaspoon roasted ground cumin seeds powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mango powder
Method
- In a large skillet, roast the cashew nuts in oil over low-medium heat, stirring continuously, until cashews are golden brown. It will take about 7-8 minutes.
- Transfer the cashews in a bowl, and let them cool off until they are warm. Cashews should be warm and not be at room temperature otherwise the spices will not coat cashews.
- Mix all the spices in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle over the warm cashews, and toss to coat them evenly.
- Store the cashews in an air tight container after they cool off to the room temperature.
- Enjoy! Note: These cashews can be stored up to a month.
Variation
Simply substitute peanuts for cashews in the above recipe.
Aunty, can we bake the cashews instead of roasting them in skillet.
Kiran,
You can do that I find easy to roast and takes less time.
Thank you aunty for this recipe, I was looking for something healthy for my kids to snack on…this is perfect!!
Made this using raw pumpkin seeds, roasting them in oil as the recipe directs. I had a lot of pumpkin seeds leftover from another recipe, so I thought I would give it a try and maybe they would not be too awful. They are very, very good…the combination of crispy and spicy….simply yummy.
