Kadju Badun ( Sri Lankan Deviled Cashews) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 ounces cashews
3/4 teaspoon paprika (I like to use the hot paprika!)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
garlic salt

Preparation

Combine the cashews, paprika, turmeric, salt and water together in a bowl and let stand for 1 hour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the cashews until they're browned evenly.
Remove from the oil, drain on paper towels and let cool slightly.
In a plastic zipper bag, combine the chili powder and garlic salt to taste; toss the nuts around in the mixture and serve.
