Fried cashews are popular during celebrations, weddings, or special meals, offering a simple yet indulgent taste of Sri Lankan hospitality. They can be enjoyed on their own or mixed into other dishes like sambols, salads, or rice dishes for added crunch and flavour.<\/p>\n<p>Premium quality cashews<br \/>\nInfused with traditional spices &amp; herbs<br \/>\nPerfect as a snack or party mix<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\ud83e\uddc2 Processing<\/h3>\n<p>Raw cashew nuts are first cleaned and sometimes soaked briefly in warm water to ensure even frying. They are then drained and patted dry. In a deep pan or wok, oil is heated, and the cashews are fried over medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy. Curry leaves and sliced green chillies are often added during the final minutes of frying for added aroma and flavour. The fried cashews are then removed, drained on paper towels to absorb excess oil, and lightly salted while still warm. Once cooled, they are ready to be served as a snack or side dish, or stored in airtight containers for later use.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\ud83c\udfa8 Colour &amp; Appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Sri Lankan Fried Cashew has a warm, golden to light brown colour with a slightly glossy surface from the frying oil. The nuts appear plump, crispy, and evenly toasted, often accompanied by deep-green fried curry leaves and occasional flecks of fried green chilli. The overall look is appetising and festive, with a rich, roasted tone and an inviting crunchiness that signals freshness and flavour.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\ud83c\udf7d Food Applications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"51\" data-end=\"163\">\n<p data-start=\"53\" data-end=\"163\"><strong data-start=\"53\" data-end=\"76\">Snack or Appetiser:<\/strong> Served on its own as a crunchy, savoury snack during gatherings or festive occasions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"164\" data-end=\"258\">\n<p data-start=\"166\" data-end=\"258\"><strong data-start=\"166\" data-end=\"193\">Rice &amp; Curry Side Dish:<\/strong> Adds texture and richness to traditional rice and curry meals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"259\" data-end=\"355\">\n<p data-start=\"261\" data-end=\"355\"><strong data-start=\"261\" data-end=\"273\">Garnish:<\/strong> Sprinkled over biryani, yellow rice, or fried rice for added flavour and crunch.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"356\" data-end=\"458\">\n<p data-start=\"358\" data-end=\"458\"><strong data-start=\"358\" data-end=\"372\">Party Mix:<\/strong> Combined with fried dhal, peanuts, or spices in traditional Sri Lankan snack mixes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"459\" data-end=\"538\">\n<p data-start=\"461\" data-end=\"538\"><strong data-start=\"461\" data-end=\"482\">Salads &amp; Sambols:<\/strong> Mixed into salads or onion sambols for a nutty twist.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"539\" data-end=\"634\" data-is-last-node=\"\">\n<p data-start=\"541\" data-end=\"634\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><strong data-start=\"541\" data-end=\"560\">Pastry Filling:<\/strong> Occasionally added to savoury pastries or stuffed buns for extra richness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\ud83e\uddfe Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"173\" data-end=\"239\">Cashew nuts, Murukku, Moringa leaves, Garlic, Ginger, Vegetable oil, Salt, Chilli powder.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2705 Dietary Info<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"53\" data-end=\"133\">\n<p data-start=\"55\" data-end=\"133\"><strong data-start=\"55\" data-end=\"87\">Vegetarian &amp; Vegan Friendly:<\/strong> Made entirely from plant-based ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"134\" data-end=\"208\">\n<p data-start=\"136\" data-end=\"208\"><strong data-start=\"136\" data-end=\"152\">Gluten-Free:<\/strong> Naturally gluten-free, with no wheat-based additives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"209\" data-end=\"316\">\n<p data-start=\"211\" data-end=\"316\"><strong data-start=\"211\" data-end=\"236\">High in Healthy Fats:<\/strong> Rich in monounsaturated fats that support heart health\u2014consume in moderation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"317\" data-end=\"415\">\n<p data-start=\"319\" data-end=\"415\"><strong data-start=\"319\" data-end=\"346\">Good Source of Protein:<\/strong> Provides plant-based protein, supporting muscle and tissue health.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"416\" data-end=\"490\">\n<p data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"490\"><strong data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"451\">Contains Essential Nutrients:<\/strong> High in magnesium, copper, and zinc.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"603\">\n<p data-start=\"493\" data-end=\"603\"><strong data-start=\"493\" data-end=\"511\">Calorie-Dense:<\/strong> Energy-rich due to fat content\u2014ideal for quick energy but best enjoyed in small portions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"692\" data-is-last-node=\"\">\n<p data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"692\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><strong data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"634\">No Artificial Additives:<\/strong> Traditionally prepared with minimal, natural ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd52 Storage &amp; Shelf Life<\/h3>\n<p>Store in a cool, dry place.\u00a0 Transfer contents to a clean, dry container after opening and Refrigerate.
