Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil. Use ‘ghee’ (clarified butter) if you are going totally native.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder or garam marsala
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cups that may include: walnut halves, cashew halves, pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts
- salt to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Curried Mixed Nuts
1. Line baking sheet with foil. Lightly oil foil. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add ginger, curry powder, cayenne pepper and whatever spices you are using; sauté until fragrant, about 5 seconds. Stir in sugar and honey. Add nuts. Stir until honey mixture is amber in color and nuts are well coated, about 6 minutes.
3. Transfer nut mixture to prepared baking sheet. Working quickly, separate nuts with spoon so they don’t stick together. Sprinkle with salt. Cool. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
Note: We’ve added amchoor powder before (dried green mango powder), used confectioners sugar, nutmeg, ground cardamom, cinnamon & cloves. Have even added raisins and currents to the mix.
Makes 1 1/2 cups.
