They taste good with drinks too. Yes, the perfect “chakana” in the local parlance is something you nibble on with an alcoholic drink. Remember however to eat them in moderation they are high-calorie snacks.
I have baked these nuts but I will share steps to them in a pan on the stovetop.
These nuts are addictive and can be varied to suit your tastes. How about just honey, with salt or peri-peri masala?
The nuts too can be varied you can use almonds, cashew nuts, pecans, peanuts, or walnuts why not fox nuts??
In Goa, we get an array of flavoured cashew nuts from peppered to red chilli. Some are sugar-coated too.
Your search for starters and snacks ends here. Green peas fry, tater tots, air-fried cheesy semolina pops, and kanda bhaji are great options. Serve these with Wok-fried Lotus Stem and Assorted Veggies in Honey Chilli Sauce, Perfectly Delicious Oven Roasted Carrots at your party. Replace the store brought an array of spiced nuts with homemade goodness.
