[DARTHPHALL]

Just done an experiment with some KP salted Peanuts.
Take one mug of salted nuts, put in a bowl add 1 Teaspoon RayGrahams Bassaar mix, stir in.. & done !
Makes really nice Spicy hot Nuts ( I'm munching em as i type mmmm).
Ideal for an accompaniment or just a light Spicy snack. ;D

 DARTH " my nuts are hot & tasty"  PHALL  ;D

Here is an authentic indian recipe for Masala nuts you might want to try - this is a family recipe!!  it is hard to stop eating these once you start!  More chili powder can be added for extra hot mixed nuts.

2 cups nuts (peanuts and cashews)
2 tsp. oil
1/2 tsp. roasted cumin powder
1/2 tsp mango powder (amchoor)
1/2 tsp. salt (for unsalted nuts only)
1/2 tsp. red chili powder
1 tsp. garam masala
1/2 tsp. chaat masala

Note: if raw nuts are used, roasting time will be more than 10 minutes. Canned nuts are already cooked and not raw.

Heat oil on low-medium and add nuts.  Heat nuts until heated thoroughly (about 10 minutes) while mixing .  Add rest of ingredients, one at a time, while stirring constantly.  let cool and serve at room temperature.

I just made my recipe for the masala nuts and did not have the chaat masala.  I think one of the main ingredients in it is amchoor powder so I added extra amchoor powder instead.  It took only 15 minutes barely to make and taste great!!!  I only used cashews.

I bet the basaar mix is very similar and has these ingredients and more!!
