Roasted cashew nuts with fragrant Thai spices. The perfect snack food.

Provided by Charlé Visser

Categories     Snack

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

400 g cashew nuts (roasted or raw but not salted)
10 lime leaves (finely chopped or blended )
15 g red curry paste
2 g salt
10 g egg white
30 g powdered sugar
5 g lime juice
5 g soy sauce
10 g fish sauce

Steps:

  • Turn the oven to 150°C or 302°F and roast the cashews for 10 minutes. This step is mainly to dry them out a bit as sometimes cashews are quite moist. Alternatively, you could also use pre-roasted cashews with no salt or anything added. Just make sure to keep an even closer look at them when roasting to make sure they don't burn.
  • Blend the lime leaves in a spice grinder or chop very finely with a super sharp knife.
  • Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl and spread out onto a baking tray lined with good quality parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Turn the oven up to 165°C or 338°F and bake for about 25 minutes or until deep golden brown while giving the nuts a mix every 5 minutes or so. This is to make sure they brown evenly.
  • When you are happy with the colour, remove and let them cool down completely before storing in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
