Caramelized Cashews and Raisins is the garnish you’ve been waiting for.
I don’t even know what to call this except de-freaking-
All I remember is that it was garnished with Caramelized Cashews and Raisins that had been sautéed in butter until the nuts were toasty brown and the raisins were slightly blackened and tasted like candy.
I couldn’t stop eating it by itself. Now I put it on all sorts of Indian dishes, including Instant Pot Chicken Biryani and Mulligatawny Soup.
Caramelized Cashews and Raisins is quick and easy to make and uses only 3 ingredients:
- Butter
- Cashews
- Raisins
That’s it! I used a combination of black and golden raisins only because I had both in my pantry and I thought it would look especially pretty. If I were going out to buy raisins specifically for this dish, I’d choose golden raisins, but either works.
Use it as a garnish for curries or rice dishes, or just eat it as a snack!
