Toasted walnuts with curry spices

2 cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ teaspoon Curry powder
¾ teaspoon Ground cumin
¼ teaspoon Ground coriander
¼ teaspoon Ground ginger
¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
2 cups Shelled walnuts, halved
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
3 tablespoons Sugar
2 tablespoons Water
½ teaspoon Salt
Oil or cooking spray
For cookie sheet

Directions

1. Mix spices in small bowl and set aside.

2. Place nut halves in dry cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, 4 to 5 minutes, just until the nuts begin to sizzle and become fragrant. Add butter and stir until melted. Add spices and stir constantly until they are fragrant and begin to darken, about 1 minute.

3. Add sugar, water, and salt; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and walnuts are glazed, 5 to 6 minutes.

4. Turn nuts onto greased cookie sheet; arrange in single layer, using two forks to separate individual nuts. Let cool completely and store.
