A recipe – Cardamom, coffee and cashew nuts biscuits
Warm spices, rich flavours
I love spices but I don’t use them as enough as I would like to. Especially in cakes and bakes. Recently I came across a recipe for cashew nuts and cardamom biscuits which caught my eye; it took me a couple of weeks to actually find the time to bake them, but I am glad I did!
Apparently this is a type of biscuit popular in India, and it wouldn’t surprise me, given the use of the beautifully scented cardamom. As usual, I modified the recipe found on a fellow blogger’s website to try my own spin on them, but I fully agree with her, they are fantastic. They have a strange texture, crumbly and they are not too sweet, but have a gorgeous aroma and they go extremely well with a coffee and I am sure, a cup of chai.
I also loved styling the shoot – I do not usually have enough time nor patience for such styling but I often try to make an effort because the photos can look good, and I am pretty pleased with the results actually.
If anyone bakes these, do let me know what you think. I brought them to my NCT class and they seemed to go down well.

The photos are absolutely gorgeous, Fede! And the biscuits sound delightful too. Was the taste very cardamom-y? I’d love to try the recipe, but I think my guys might find the spice too overwhelming, I’d probably halve it for us.
I don’t think it was too powerful actually – almost just a scent rather than a flavour. They are not very sweet, I would say more of an ‘adult’ taste, but then your kids are used to proper baking so they might enjoy 🙂
