Saffron Roasted Cashews
from $16
What is Saffron Roasted Cashews? It's whole cashews roasted in ghee with real saffron threads, white pepper, sea salt, and a whisper of cardamom, finished in a golden-red spice coating that leans warm and buttery rather than fiery. Saffron and cashews together are a traditional pairing in Indian festive cooking, often reserved for celebrations because both ingredients are prized rather than everyday. Roasting the cashews in ghee instead of oil gives them a richer, rounder flavor, while the cardamom adds a fragrant top note that keeps the mix from tasting one-dimensionally sweet or salty. At spice level one, this is the most restrained mix ameei makes — built for moments that call for something a little luxurious rather than a fire-mix crunch. It's the snack meant for guests, for gifting, or for the evening you decide a plain bowl of cashews isn't quite enough.
