Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat 4 tablespoons of ghee in a wide pan. Using ghee adds a rich, traditional taste, but you can substitute it with oil if preferred.
- Add 500 grams of cashews to the pan and roast them over medium heat for about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even roasting.
- Add a pinch of turmeric powder to the pan and continue roasting for another 3-4 minutes until the cashews turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Once roasted, transfer the hot cashews into a mixing bowl.
- While the cashews are still warm, sprinkle in 1/2 tbsp black salt and 1/2 tbsp black pepper powder. You can also add a little powdered sugar if you prefer a sweet-and-spicy flavor.
- Mix everything well so the spices coat each cashew evenly.
Your delicious masala cashews are ready! Store them in an airtight container; they stay fresh for up to 4 months at room temperature and up to 6 months in the freezer. Enjoy them as a tea-time snack or pack them in your kids’ lunchboxes for a tasty treat!
