How to make the Masala Cashews
In a bowl, take the cashews, wash it with water, then add all the spices, crushed garlic and besan. Mix well so that the flour coats the cashews well.
Then sprinkle water and make a thick coating of the flour on the nuts.
Heat oil for deep frying. Gently drop in the cashews and fry on both sides.
Drain on a kitchen towel. Pack in an air tight container.

Chef Mireille says
I thought I was the only one who didn't like cashews as my whole family loves them - however I am not surprised at this pakoda although it is new to me since so many Indian foods use cashew - although I usually use pistacchios instead at least in the sweets 🙂
