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 to medium heat, stirring continuously, until golden brown (seven to eight minutes).
- Transfer the cashews to a bowl and let them cool until they are warm (not room temperature, or 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 airtight container once they cool to room temperature.
- Enjoy!
Note: These cashews can be stored up to a month.
Variation
Substitute peanuts for cashews in the above recipe.

Thanks for Sharing, It looks delicious. I found wanted to have some spicy nuts but the quality of the product stops me from buying out. Will try this weekend 🙂
Very useful recipe thank. You very Much
I love cashews <3 They are so tasty. Thanks a lot for sharing the recipe.
So funny. Lolz! She said “Spicy cashews can be quite addicting”, don’t you know the meaning of words. Irresistible is the correct word for this. By the way if you are thinking this another geeky amarican comment, I am also an indian blogger.
It’s a perfectly valid thing to say, although I’d have used “addictive”. I think it’s a US vs UK thing.
that is not incorrectly used. we often say a delicious food item is addictive.
Hi Manjula Aunty,
This is first time i am watching ur site & what ever recipe i was searching same i got from u & its very easy to Make,Thank u so much for this wonderful Recipe….
Today evening i am going to prepare & taste it.
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.
Hi aunty,
I m going to india for few months leaving my husband in US, i was searching for some snacks which i can stock for him …..this one was great ,thankyou.

Hi Manjulaji,
I like your recipes. I was wondering if you can share a recipe for Chana dal ( you know the kind you buy in store from Haldiram or Mirchmasala, etc). I know it’s easy enough and have even tried it but didn’t came out crunchy as store bought.
Thanks
I love teh taste. I bet the spice mix would also be great on fresh popcorn and on toasted almonds. You could make the spice powder and just give that as a gift, especially to friends who don’t have exotic Indian ingredients such as amchur and black salt.
Harvey,
Great Idea.
Thank you Manjula-ji. Can we try this with peanuts or other nuts?
R,
Peanuts will be great.
Loved these cashews coated with aromatic spices! Nice recipe dear..
Cheers!
