Instead of Unsalted pistachio
Pistachio nutUse the same weight; check if salted. If salted, rinse well and omit salt from the recipe.
AlmondUse the same weight; blanch and sliver for garnish. It is milder and cheaper.
Cashew nutUse the same weight; split or grind. It is softer and gives a creamier paste.
