CURRIED CASHEW NUTS

This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks, "The Spice CookBook," from 1964. We like to eat them as a side dish alongside foods of similar flavors. Also yummy as an appetizer or snack. Times are approximate. The cookbook does not say, and I do not remember how long it took us. NOTE: These will be slightly greasy. SO tasty, though! And they make the whole house smell good!
