1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric, optional
Kosher salt

Directions
- Mix together the coconut, sugar, garam masala, curry powder, turmeric if using and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl and set aside.
For the nuts:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with oil.
