    Expert Tips

    1. You can make this recipe vegan by using maple syrup in place of honey. 

    2. Use good quality almonds and make sure you don’t let them burn. 

    3. You can vary the spices and reduce the cayenne as per your requirement. 

    4. This recipe works well with walnuts, cashews, pecans or peanuts. My favourite is almond though.

    FAQs

    How long do these last?

    They will easily last for 4 weeks when stored in an airtight jar. You can store in the refrigerator as well but they will harden a bit there.

    Can you skip the sesame seeds?

    You sure can. But they add a certain crunch and are healthy. They also make the almonds look super pretty.

    What can I use in place of jaggery?

    Brown sugar works equally well and so does coconut sugar.

    What other spices can be used?

    Cinnamon goes really well. You can also go for chilli flakes instead of cayenne.

    What are the vegan alternatives?

    You can use maple syrup in place of honey for a vegan version.

    Which other nuts can be used?

    This recipe works with walnuts, cashews and peanuts too.
