Its the beginning of the Holiday season and for us Hindus our biggest festival Diwali is round the corner too!That makes for double celebrations this month!We also exchange gifts and sweets with friends and family during this time and nothing says it better than a home made gift from your kitchen.Who doesn’t like edible gifts?Its fun, its tasty, its personal and it comes from the heart!
I love munching on nuts and there’s something about the sweet and spicy ones that I find hard to resist!My Sweet and Spicy Curried Nuts make for an ideal holiday gift!I have to warn you though that these are highly addictive!I’ve used a combination of Cashews, Walnuts and Hazelnuts, but you could use any nut of your choice.I’ve used Extra Virgin Coconut Oil that gives it more depth of flavor and works beautifully with the curry powder!
When you first bite into it there’s this hint of sweet, followed by the spices and the coconut in the background and then the ginger hits the palate and somehow you find yourself, craving for more and more!
