Despite having a relatively high fat content, cashew nuts are considered to be low-fat nuts. In fact, cashew nuts contain less fat per serving than many other popular nuts, including almonds, walnuts, peanuts and pecans. Cashew nuts are rich in energy and nutrients. They do have a relatively high fat content, but it is considered ‘good fat’.
They are rich in ‘heart friendly’ monounsaturated fatty acids like oleic and palmitoleic acids that help to lower LDL or bad cholesterol and increase HDL or good cholesterol.

Repeat the same with the coated cashew nuts. Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the corn and once done remove and then add the cashew nuts and fry until crisp. Remove and keep aside. In another pan, heat some oil and add onions, crushed ginger garlic, slit green chillies, fresh curry leaves, finely chopped coriander leaves, salt, little soya sauce, mix well and then add the fried sweet corns and cashew nuts and toss well.
