Did you know that a cashew is not a nut...................  it is a seed!
 
Forget the biology and science; it is their "snackability" that is great.  
This recipe calls for a mild curry powder 
But you could try it with a Mexican spice mix or your favourite mix with a little chilli

 
Big seeds work best with the cashews
 
This recipe is ideal for roasting in the air fryer
