Festival time is here!! Time to indulge in some rich,delicious treats...so let's start off with one of my fav sweets...kaju burfi(also known as kaju katli/katri)..I couldn't believe my eyes when I discovered that this is one of the easiest recipes ever...check it out:
Ingredients :
- 2 cups cashew nuts
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- a pinch of saffron - optional
- Grind the cashew nuts into a coarse powder.
- In a heavy bottomed pan,add the sugar+ water & boil it for 10 minutes on medium heat (the syrup should get a string consistency). {you can add saffron to the syrup-optional}
- In another pan (preferably a non stick one),dry roast the cashew powder for less than a minute.Do not roast the powder too much,coz this will make the burfi oily.
- Now,add the hot syrup to the roasted cashew powder & mix well to avoid any lumps. Keep stirring to prevent the mixture from burning at the bottom of the pan.
- Once the mixture starts leaving the edges of the pan & it becomes a little firm (not too much,the burfi will harden once it cools down,so make sure that u can still pour the mixture onto a plate,but at the same time,it is not too runny),pour the mixture onto a greased plate.
- Let the mixture cool down a bit & then cut it into diamond shaped burfis. Store them in an airtight container.
- If you have an edible silver foil,you can decorate the burfi with it.
