Roasted Nuts Recipe 4 Flavour Nuts

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes When it comes to winter food to keep us warm, our first thought instantly goes to soups and stews. But nuts and dried fruits also are a great source of energy and nutrition. They are loaded with protein and good fats – great for skin and heart. Medical research says nuts help lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol; they also regulate blood sugar and help reduce blood pressure. Nuts taste great as they are. So why roast them? Roasting brings out the oil that most nuts produce, enriches the flavour, and makes them extra crunchy and delicious.

Roasted Nuts – 4 Flavours

Masala Kaju (Cashew) Spiced Honey Almonds Herb Walnuts Mint Makhana (Foxnut)

These roasted nuts are gluten-free, easy to store, perfect for healthy munching, and require minimal ingredients. A pack of homemade assorted nuts makes an excellent edible gift for the Holiday and festive season to share with family and friends. Do you need more reason to bookmark this roasted nuts recipe? Masala Kaju (Cashew): This is an Indian-style spicy roasted cashew recipe. The white cashews are roasted in ghee and later seasoned with red chilli powder, salt, pepper, and Chaat Masala. In India, masala kaju is the most popular roasted nut flavour. As the name suggests, it is spicy with the sweetness and richness of ghee. Honey Spiced Almonds: They are my favourite flavour of roasted nuts. The honey, cinnamon, and chilli-flavoured savoury almonds are coated with a layer of white sugar. Making them crunchy and super addictive. They are a sweet, spicy, caramelized goodness that disappears fast. So I suggest making a large batch of these honey-spiced almonds. Herb Walnuts: Toasted in butter with oregano, chilli flakes, salt, pepper, and brown sugar, these herb walnuts are the tastiest. The addition of oregano makes them so flavoursome. You can use thyme, rosemary, sage, or other herbs to flavour the roasted walnuts. Roasted Mint Makhana: The foxnuts are the new superfood. Apart from making curry and phirni, you can roast them in ghee and flavour them with salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder, and mint powder. They are low in calories, not so expensive, and easy to roast. You can eat roasted makhana while fasting as well.
