Dining with Den – Devilled Cashews

Devilled Cashews ( Gourmet Traveler Magazine )

Ingredients

400 gms Raw cashews

40 gms ghee

10 gms mustard seeds

6 gms Curry leaves

4 gms slat flakes

5 gms chilli flakes

10 gms chilli powder ( halve this if you like it milder )

Steps 

Pre heat oven to 150 Celsius. Spread cashew onto baking tray and cook for 15 mins. Giving them a jiggle around at the halfway point. Cook until golden. Then let them cool.

Place ghee in a high temp frying pan. Once melted add mustard seeds. Cover pan for a few minutes as mustard seeds tend to pop out of the pan. Once they start to pop and curry leaves for 30 seconds and stir so they don’t burn.

Now add the cashews and a little salt stirring for 3 minutes but don’t burn them… maybe a slight char is okay. Add chilli flakes and stir through then immediately remove from heat.

Stir through chilli powder and remaining salt. You can put some in an airtight container and serve the rest immediately. Have a beer….cheers!
