2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp salt
1/4 tbsp black salt
1/8 tbsp black pepper
1/4 tbsp red pepper
1 tbsp roasted ground cumin seeds powder
1/2 tbsp mango powder

Instructions

In a large skillet, roast the cashew nuts in oil over low to medium heat, stirring continuously, until golden brown (seven to eight minutes).
Transfer the cashews to a bowl and let them cool until they are warm (not room temperature, or the spices will not coat cashews).
Mix all the spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the warm cashews and toss to coat them evenly.
Store the cashews in an airtight container once they cool to room temperature.

Notes

Note: These cashews can be stored up to a month.
