Spicy Cashews

Roasted cashews arrive warm and glistening, tossed with aromatic spices that build in heat with each bite. Swaruchi layers whole cashews with dried chilies, cumin, and a touch of asafetida to create a snack that's simultaneously buttery and fiery. The spices coat every cashew evenly, releasing their fragrance as you reach for another handful. Crispy on the outside with a yielding center, these are the kind of nuts that disappear fast at any table. Pair them with chai or enjoy as a standalone appetizer before your main course.
