Ingredients for Vegan Cashew Cheese

• ½ cup raw cashew nuts
• 320 ml water
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 cup of sweet chaat masala
• 1 tsp salt
• Black pepper
• Nutmeg
• Garlic powder

Instructions

Place all the raw cashew nuts in an ovenproof dish, cover with boiling water and let them soak for at least 5 minutes or until they soften.

Blend the cashew nuts together with all the other ingredients using a blender until smooth. Then pour into a cooking pan over low heat and bring to a boil while constantly stirring.

After the mixture has a thicker consistency similar to cake or pudding batter, keep it on low heat for another 1 minute, still stirring then turn off the heat and turn it into a storage container with an airtight lid.

Allow it cool before storing it in the fridge.
