Kaju (Cashew Nuts) - 500g

How to Use Cashews

These nuts add a rich, creamy texture to a variety of daily and festive dishes. Here are some simple ways to use them:

• Creamy Cashew Curry Gravy

Soak about 10-12 pieces in regular water for 25-30 minutes. Grind them into a smooth paste. Add this paste to your curry or gravies for a rich, restaurant-style creamy texture.

• Kaju Katli

Combine 1 cup of cashew powder with sugar syrup to make this classic festive sweet. It’s one of the favourite sweets among most Indians during Diwali and other festivals.

• Roasted Kaju Snack Box

Lightly roast 2 tbsp cashews in 1 tsp ghee, then sprinkle with a pinch of black salt. It’s a quick, simple, tasty snack for evening tea time.

• Kheer & Halwa Garnish

Sprinkle small slices of 8-10 cashews on top of kheer or halwa right before serving to add extra crunch.

• Biryani & Pulao

Roast 1 tbsp whole cashews in ghee. Mix these cashews into biryani or pulao for a rich, nutty bite in every spoonful.

Where Do Our Cashews Come From?

Cashew trees mainly grow in the Northeast region of Brazil, but India and Vietnam are now among the world's largest cashew-growing countries. Hathi Masala sources its cashews from reliable farms that follow good farming standards. Each batch is carefully evaluated and hygienically processed without human contact at any stage.

Are Hathi Masala cashews natural or roasted? 

Our cashews are natural and unroasted, ready for cooking or snacking. You can eat them as they are, or lightly roast them at home in a little ghee for a crunchier, tastier bite.

Can I use cashews to make curry gravy? 

Yes. Soak 10-12 cashews in warm water for about 20 minutes, then grind into a smooth paste. This makes a rich, creamy base for gravies like paneer butter masala or korma.

How should I store cashews at home? 

Transfer these cashews to an airtight glass or plastic jar. Keep them in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. This helps keep them fresh for longer. The packaging Hathi uses is specially designed to keep the dry fruits fresh.

Can I eat cashews every day? 

Yes. You can eat around 8-10 pieces every day. It’s a healthy habit for some people. Cashews are a tasty, natural snack that you can also add to your daily meals, sweets, or smoothies.

Are cashews good for kids? 

Yes, this is a good snack for kids as well. They provide energy along with nutrients, such as iron and protein. You can give a small amount, around 2-3 tsps, with breakfast or a meal to your kids; it works well in their daily diet.

Are Hathi Masala cashews tested for quality? 

Yes. Each batch of Hathi cashews is hand-evaluated and hygienically packed without human contact at any stage. Our facility is ISO- and FSSAI-certified, so you always get a clean, high-quality product.

What are the differences between cashew and almond? 

The texture of cashews is soft and creamy. They’re perfect for gravies and sweets like kaju katli. The texture of almonds is harder and crunchier. They’re perfect for soaking and eating in the morning. Both dry fruits are healthy; you can pick one based on your recipe or taste.

Is it safe to buy cashews online? 

Yes, it’s actually pretty safe. Hathi packs every batch of these cashews in 3-layer sealed, hygienic packaging. Always check the pack details, processing, and reviews before ordering. It is exactly like purchasing dry fruits from a reliable local store.
