• 1 cup cashew nuts
• 1 cup besan (chickpea flour/bengal gram flour)
• 1tsp red chilli powder
• 2tsp ajwain
• salt
• a pinch of soda
• oil for frying
• 1tbsp ghee
• ½ cup water

Heat ghee in a pan. Roast the cashew nuts until they turn a little brown. Keep aside.

In a bowl, mix besan, salt, red chilli powder, ajwain and soda. Add water and stir constantly to avoid getting lumps.

Make a semi-thick batter for pakoras.

Now add the roasted cashews in the batter and mix well.

Heat oil in a frying pan. Make small pakoras with the batter and deep fry. Strain in a paper towel.

Cashew nut pakora is ready to eat. Serve it hot with tomato ketchup or coriander chutney.
