You Must Be (Tandoori) Nuts! created by Sandi From CA

Here is a spicy mix that features a variety of nuts and a south Indian theme. Anyone who enjoys a good curry, or any other spicy food for that matter, will be enjoying these by the handful. If you're planning a large get together, I recommend adding a bit more salt and some mini pretzels to stretch the snack mix a bit. Recipe courtesy of Ronda Carnicelli.

I printed the recipe but didn't read it until I had the yogurt in a bowl. Wow, I thought, 3T Curry? 2T Cumin? You should have seen my face :D I put in the same measurements, however, in teaspoons. At the end, it only smelled of YOGURT haha! So I decided to follow the recipe after all. IT WAS A SUPER HIT!!!! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them!!!
