How to Make Homemade Snacks Without Palm Oil

To completely escape the hidden palm oil in supermarket aisles, many health-conscious individuals try making all their savory snacks at home. While this guarantees ingredient purity, it is incredibly time-consuming and difficult to master.

Making a spiced nut mix at home seems simple until you actually try it. If you try to roast nuts without fat, the spices simply fall to the bottom of the bowl. The authentic Indian method requires slow-frying the nuts in a heavy-bottomed pan using a generous amount of pure desi ghee. The hot ghee binds the rock salt and black pepper perfectly to the cashew.

However, managing the exact temperature of the ghee so the spices adhere without burning the delicate oils of the nut takes significant culinary practice. A single mistake leaves the entire batch tasting bitter and burnt.
