Mc Currie Cashew Badun is a dry-fried, spiced Sri Lankan side dish of whole cashew nuts cooked with fried onion, curry leaves and chilli. A badun is a savoury spice mix with deep-fried ingredients, served in small amounts beside a meal or as a snack.
Cashew badun is a familiar dish at Sri Lankan celebrations and almsgivings, where it often sits next to yellow rice. The maker's picture shows crisp whole cashews coated in a sticky, lightly sweet chilli mix with curry leaves.
