Ingredients

1 cup cashews ((130 grams))
⅓ teaspoon salt ((adjust to taste))
½ teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder ((refer notes))
¼ teaspoon chaat masala ((or amchur, optional))
1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste ((or ½ tsp ginger powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder))
¼ to ½ teaspoon carom seeds ((ajwain, optional))
1 sprig curry leaves ((or 8 mint leaves or 1 tsp any herbs))
¼ cup gram flour ((35 grams besan, 1 tbsp more if needed))
2 tablespoons rice flour ((16 grams, ½ tbsp more if needed))
2 tablespoons water ((more if needed))
1 tablespoon oil ((skip for air fryer))

Steps:

Rinse and fine chop curry leaves or any herbs of your choice. Preheat oven at 360 For 180 C for 15 mins. Grease a baking tray or line it with a parchment paper or foil.
Add cashews to a mixing bowl and rinse them well under running water. Drain the water completely.
To the cashews, add salt, ginger garlic, chaat masala, curry leaves, ajwain and red chilli powder. Mix them well.
Then add gram flour and rice flour. Begin to coat the cashews with the flour. At this stage there will be a lot of dry flour.
Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons water and mix well adding more only as needed. All of the cashews should be coated well with the dough. Avoid adding too much water as the dough comes off the cashews. Check step-by-step picture.
Taste test the dough and sprinkle some salt if you prefer. Lastly spray or pour oil and gently mix. Do not overmix else the dough will begin to clump & come off the cashews.
If all of the cashews are not coated well with the masala, then you can sprinkle more flour on top and mix gently.
