Grind or pound the nuts adding just enough oil to make a smooth paste. With wet hands, squeeze the mixture to remove any excess oil. Saute the onions, cayenne & salt in a tablespoon of oil until golden. Knead into the nut paste. Shape into 1" diameter balls adding a few drops of water if necessary to make them hold together.
