RecipeIngredients
  • 1½ cups cashew nuts
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 sprig of fresh curry leaves (8-10 leaves), separate stems and tear the curry leaves into smaller pieces
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (I used Kashmiri chilli powder to keep it mild)
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
RecipeInstructions
  1. Heat a frying pan and when hot, lower heat to low and add the cashew nuts. Roast the nuts on low heat for about 4-5 mins stirring frequently until the cashew nuts have one or two brownish spots on them. Transfer the cashew nuts onto a tray. Keep aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the coconut oil. When hot, turn heat to low and add the fresh curry leaves and the stems and stir fry for about 30 secs. (Make sure to stand away as the curry leaves will spurt in the oil if they have any moisture in them). Add the cayenne pepper and the garam masala and stir fry on low for about 15 secs.
  3. Now add the already roasted cashew nuts to the pan and stir fry everything to mix well and again toast in the pan for about 4-5 mins stirring frequently until the cashew nuts are well toasted and crispy. Turn heat off. Let cool and transfer to an airtight dish.
