Curry Cashews
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Curry Powder
- 18 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 18 teaspoons Onion Powder
- 1 dash Ground Cayenne Pepper
- 2 teaspoons Butter
- 1 can (10 Oz. Size) Roasted, Salted Cashews
- Put together spices in a small bowl and have at the ready.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add cashews.
- Stir occasionally, toasting them but being careful not to burn them.
- Toast for 3-5 minutes or until nicely browned and heated through.
- Remove from heat.
- Add spice mixture and stir to coat.
- You dont want to cook the curry powder, just heat it up with the residual heat from the cashews.
- Lay a double layer of paper towels on the counter and spread cashews out to cool.
- Be sure to only have them one layer thick so that they crisp up when cool.
- If not using immediately, store only after completely cooled in an airtight container.
- I store them in a glass canning jar.
- The curry smell is very strong and a plastic container will hold the smell for some time after they are gone.
- Notes: 1.
- You can use whole cashews or pieces equally well here.
- I typically will use the whole ones if I am making this as an appetizer for company but will use pieces if its just for myself.
- 2.
- Because curry is simply a blend of spices, which can vary from brand to brand, be sure to use a blend you like.
- My favorite is the McCormick brand available in most grocery stores.
- Do note that the salt content varies widely from brand to brand.
- I suggest tasting the cashews before you begin, if they are not salty enough for you, add a pinch to the spice mixture.
- 3.
- Any seasoning you add needs to be added when the cashews are hot.
- Also, if you want your cashews a little spicier, just add more cayenne.
