Cashews ~ Imported from India
I feel like I am also an expert in cooking. But I rarely get a chance to make something and post on this website. I have few favorites, and karam jeedipappu (can also be called masala cashews) is one of them. The process seems simple, but one has to do it a few times to get perfection.
Needed ingredients:
1. 1 lb cashews
2. 1/2 cup ghee
3. 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
6. 1 pinch powdered pepper
Needed utensils:
1 thick bottom skillet
1 vessel to mix masala
1 wide plate to spread cashews and sprinkle masala
Recipe:
Take cashews in a clean, wide plate.
Remove any small pieces or broken bits of cashews.
Heat the ghee in a wide, thick bottom skillet to medium-high heat.
Take half of the cashews and roast by continuously stirring to pale red.
Remove the cashews immediately from the skillet into a wide vessel.
Sprinkle a quarter of the masala powder on the hot cashews and shake the vessel well to spread the masala evenly on all the cashews.
Next, spread the cashews into a wide plate and sprinkle another quarter of the masala evenly on the cashews.
Repeat the process for the other half of the cashews.
Let the masala cashews cool for about an hour. Enjoy!
Notes:
Frying of cashews in ghee must be done in two batches, as the ghee would not be sufficient to roast all cashews. Care must be taken not to burn/black the cashews.
The reason why I have added masala in two stages:
When masala powder is sprinkled and tossed in the vessel first time, masala powder and all excess ghee sticks to the surface of the vessel. When cashews are spread in a wide plate and masala is sprinkled on them, masala gets coated well to the cashews.

Nice post and amazing pics. How did you get the background of the second pic so nice and dark?
Hello Anjali garu,
I used a black background and a macro lens. Metered exposure carefully to get just the needed details.
Thanks for your comments.

Nice picture of cashews. Masala cashews look so tempting.
Comment by Priti — June 26, 2008 @ 8:26 pm
Oh my! That portrait makes me drool! Makes me want to rush to the nearest store and get cashews and make them (and finish it off, right away, ofcourse!)
It’s not fair, to a woman who’s just psyched herself to exercise and lose those extra pounds. 🙁

Now thats tantalizing to the taste buds!! Great pictures and the post.
Comment by Sands — June 27, 2008 @ 10:33 am
If you pound the masala powders – the salt, mirchi and pepper and make it a finer powder then it will stick to the cashews better

Vijay, you seem to be the ‘snack guru’ of your house. I can still recollect the plantain chips post that you did last year 🙂

Hi Indira, I have been reading your food blog since a veree long time, however have never left a comment before.
I lived in Bombay and moved to Sydney 2 years back. I find Sydney so different from Bombay however what I miss most is the food from good old Bombay now Mumbai.
Also not having to cook prior to marriage I had to learn fast once I got here 🙂 So I went through a lot of food blogs and yours became my favorite!
I now have a 9 month old and need to cook for him and so have gone through scores of kids cookbooks namely Annabel Karmel. However those foods are mostly continental or to put it simply different from Indian way of cooking.
Wanted your help. Have you come across any Indian kiddie books that may help me cook yummy and nourishing meals for my lil one?
Appreciate your help.
rgds, Sujata
