Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    See recipe for variations. Can substitute any other chilli flakes for Aleppo chilli flakes.

    A recipe to make again and again!

    I followed instructions to only use half the sugar if doubling batch, and they were way too salty. Made single batch and they were perfect. Definitely agree with earlier comment to halve the salt as well as well as the sugar, if doubling the nuts and seeds.

    Super easy and tastes like so much more. Great for guests, but double that batch!

    These are addictive, the interplay of sweet, salty and curry is just lovely. I doubled the recipe and didn’t have as much raw cashews as I thought so I added a cup of slivered almonds, which will be perfect on a beet and goat cheese salad tonight but is less great for nibbling. I followed the directions on decreasing sugar when doubling, next time I’ll do the same for the salt. I am an absolute salt fiend and these are a shade salty to my taste. I definitely plan to keep these on hand to improve salads, cheese boards, and possibly a bowl of yogurt.

    I substituted 1tbs cane syrup for 1tbs of the brown sugar. (I regularly substitute cane syrup for sweeteners.) The nuts are a perfect mix of spice, salt, and sweet. Excellent recipe.

    I wasn’t a huge fan of these, probably not a repeat for me

    Good spice blend. Flexible to use with whatever nuts are on hand, even some dried fruit - most types have worked well.

    These nuts are very good and really easy to make. My kids also loved them... after making a double batch only about 1/2 a cup was left at the end of the evening.
