    Salted Cashew nut in microwave/ Masala Kaju

    Salted cashew nuts / Masala Kaju as we Indians commonly name it, make a great appetiser. It is ideal to binge during mid-day or serve as a snack to guests with tea. These are made in microwave and are ready in fifteen minutes.

    Microwave oven is ideal to toss the nuts, they are evenly made, lesser  time is  needed,  little oil is used.  Most of all I find it a good experience in using it. 

    Recently, I tried making stuffed tomato and it came out good. Other microwave recipes that I have on blog is Stuffed Capsicum

    • 1 teaspoon ghee
    • 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon chaat masala
    • salt to taste

    Method:

    • Take a microwave safe bowl, a flat bowl is preferred as it helps in even heating. Put the cashew nuts in it and microwave on medium power for 5 minutes. Check and if it needs to be roasted, reduce the temperature and keep again for 3 minutes. Initially, I kept at 600 power and then at 300 power. 
    • Once, they are golden in colour, remove in a plate, add ghee and put the roasted cashew, microwave for 30 seconds, add salt, chilli powder and chaat masala, mix and again microwave for 30 seconds. Salted Cashew nuts aka Masala Kaju is ready to serve ! 

    Different options :

    • use only salt

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup cashew nuts
    • 3 tablespoon ghee
    • 1 teaspoon chilly powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
    • a few curry leaves
    • a pinch of asafoetida
    • salt to taste

    Method: 

    • Take ghee in a pan, fry the curry leaves until crisp and put them aside.
    • In the same ghee, roast the cashew nuts until golden in colour. Put them in a plate.
    • In a bowl, mix the roasted cashew along with curry leaves and all spice powders.
