One of my favourite quick snacks when want something spicy to munch on:

- Mix chilli, salt, coriander and cumin powder in a bowl to taste
- Toss some cashews in a well  heated pan with minimal oil and lightly brown.
- Add spices and mix till aroma releases, remove pan from heat.

Cool slightly before eating.
