- 1 teaspoon unroasted curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup water

Method
- Add water until the cashews are about 1-2 inches above the bowl (At room temperature). Cover and soak for at least 6–8 hours (or overnight). Note: You can split the cashews in half before soaking if you wish.

- Drain off the water from the cashews, then set them aside.
