Spicy CashewsIngredients:

Method

  1. In a large skillet, roast the cashew nuts in oil over low to medium heat, stirring continuously, until golden brown (seven to eight minutes).
  2. Transfer the cashews to a bowl and let them cool until they are warm (not room temperature, or the spices will not coat cashews).
  3. Mix all the spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the warm cashews and toss to coat them evenly.

  5. Enjoy!

  1. 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.

  3. 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.

    Your spicy cashews are a hit every time I serve them to my guests. They all want the recipe. Thank you for inspiring me with your Indian cuisine.

  6. 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

  7. 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.
