Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.

Step 2

Whisk to combine the sunflower oil, lime juice and caster sugar together, whisking until the mixture looks pale.

Step 3

Keep whisking and add the garam masala, chilli powder, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 4

Add the nuts to the spice mixture, stir in the honey and mix together until the nuts are evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the nuts in an even layer onto the lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for five minutes before turning them over and roasting for a further 8-10 minutes until they have a shiny, golden coating and are no longer sticky. Watch carefully towards the end of cooking to ensure the nuts do not burn.

Step 6

Leave the nuts on the tray to cool. They will continue to harden as they cool and can be served either warm or cold.
