Cashew need no introduction although they are more common as cashew nuts rather than the fruit itself. Though it is available in plenty here in general, this year was an exception with a rather poor crop. The juice though tastes great, is simple enough to prepare and whats more even gives you a sound sleep !

What you need to have:

1. Cashew fruit  -2

2. Salt – To taste

3. White pepper powder – A pinch (for 1 cup)

4. Sugar – A pinch

5. Black salt powder – A pinch (Check taste and then add)

Fresh cashew fruit

What you do with what you have:

1. Wash and cut cashew fruit into bite size pieces and put it into the mixer bowl. Run the mixer/blender adding water in steps to a fine consistency.

2. Strain the juice and pour it into a glass and add required quantity of salt to taste , a pinch of white pepper powder, A pinch of sugar and also a pinch of Black salt powder to which gives extra flavour to the juice .  Serve chill.  Very yummy, though simple.
