Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Heat ghee in a skillet over medium heat and shallow-fry cashew nuts until fragrant and lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and dry on paper towels. Add peanuts and fry in the same skillet until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add lotus seeds and fry over low heat until they are crisp and have absorbed all the ghee, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Mix cashews, peanuts, and lotus seeds in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Store in an airtight jar to stop them from getting soggy.
