Ingredients

  • 100ml vegetable oil
  • 300g raw unsalted cashew nuts
  • 2 sprigs curry leaves, leaves picked
  • ½tsp red chilli powder

Method

Heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat until a light smoke haze comes off it.

Add the nuts and fry until golden. Add the curry leaves and cook until crisp and then strain through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl. Discard the oil.

Place the nuts and curry leaves in a bowl. Combine the chilli powder, salt and pepper. Toss the nuts and curry leaves in the mixture to coat well.
