Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Nuts

1. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over low to medium heat.

Step 3: Coat the Nuts

2. Spread them into a single layer.
3. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.

Why Use Sarbu Jaggery Powder?

Sarbu Jaggery Powder provides a rich sweetness that pairs beautifully with the natural nuttiness of almonds, cashews, walnuts, and peanuts. Its fine texture melts easily, creating an even, glossy coating while the warm spices and Sarbu Black Salt add a delicious sweet, savory, and mildly spicy flavor.

Chef’s Tips

• Roast the nuts on low to medium heat to develop their flavor without burning them.
• Make sure the nuts are completely dry before adding them to the jaggery mixture.
• Don’t overcook the jaggery coating, as it can become hard or bitter.
• Work quickly once the nuts are coated because the jaggery mixture sets as it cools.
• Spread the nuts in a single layer immediately after coating for easy separation.
• Adjust the red chilli and black pepper according to your preferred level of spice.
• For extra crunch, add roasted sesame or sunflower seeds.
• Store completely cooled nuts in an airtight container at room temperature.
