Ingredients
Instructions
-
Set a pan on low heat and add 2 tsp. of oil. You can also use 2 tsp. of ghee instead.
-
Add almonds and roast for 1 minute.
We are adding almonds first, because it takes longer to roast than the seeds -
Add pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds
-
Roast everything for 3-4 minutes.
You will know that the nuts and seeds are properly roasted when 1)they turn darker in color, 2)the start to smell nutty and aromatic and 3) you can hear popping or crackling sounds from the nuts and seeds -
Add all the dry spices
-
Roast on low heat for another minute
-
Add fresh lime juice. The nuts will turn slightly soggy, so make sure to roast the nuts for another minute or so till the lime juice evaporates and the nuts become dry again.
Normally, dry mango powder is added to the masala mix for tartness. Since dry mango does not fit into the keto diet, we are using lime juice instead. -
Turn off the heat
-
Once the nuts have completely dried and cooled down, you can store them in an air tight container
