Nuts are considered relatively fatty, but they are a powerhouse of unsaturated fat (the good kind) and protein. It means they fill us up faster and for longer, They have higher life expectancy and even help to stabilise blood sugar .

Cashews, almonds, pistachios , walnuts and peanuts have higher amounts of proteins than other nuts like hazelnuts, so I like to mix them , roast them and mix in some curry leaves and masala and a light hand of salt. I also add a variety of seeds for that extra Protein Rich munch. Enjoy these in the evenings or when you need a slight munch .

So today we have a Spicy Nutty & Seedy Mixture which has excellent taste along with that protein. You could vary the nuts and seed proportions , it really doesn’t matter .
