Recently moved to the Asheville, NC area. Chai Pani is our favorite restaurant. For Super Bowl Sunday we will be making the incredible DESi salad and Sloppy Jai, lamb sliders. Not traditional Super Bowl fare, but if we can come close to replicating these dishes we will have scored our own touchdown 😋
Just found this recipe. I’m in heaven, love this salad!!!!!
Hi MrsP! Thanks for your question! We’ve added the masala cashew recipe to the post, enjoy! :)
I love this salad (when purchased from Chai Pani!!)!! Such an incredible combo of flavors!! But what are the cashews spiced with?
