Khatte Meethe Kaju is the easiest diwali recipe I would have tried in years. This however was a quick hack as I have received 2 kgs of cashew as diwali gift. So yes, don’t wonder if you see lot of back to back cashew recipes. When life gives you cashew , you make Katte Meethe Kaju.

The recipe too was accidental as I was making tamarind and Jaggery Chutney for dahi wada and suddenly thought to make dip the cashews in the sauce and voila the recipe was invented.

I love when I end up making such quick fix and easy recipes , specially for parents who are looking for simple and easy recipes for kids. Cashews are good fat and rich in protein and fibre and also make a good evening snack. A handful of these nuts are good enough and this way they taste even better.
