Kaju Katli

इस व्यंजन को हिन्दी में पढ़ें

Ingredients
(makes about 24 small pieces)

• Kaju (cashews) 1 cup/ 200 gms
• White sugar ½ cup/ 100 gms
• Water ¼ cup
• Ghee  few drops to grease the tray

1. Grease the tray, a small thali, or the back side on a baking dish, with ghee. Keep aside.
2. Clean the cashews and grind  in the grinder. Keep aside.
3. In a non stick wok/pan boil sugar and water. After the first boil reduce the heat and boil the sugar syrup till it gets thickened and makes three string syrup. Three string syrup means that you take a drop of syrup between your two fingers and then stretch the fingers - if the syrup that sticks between the two fingers is making three threads (or strings) then the thickness of syrup is appropriate. Takes about 5-7 mins.
4. Now remove the wok from heat and add cashew powder in the sugar syrup. Stir well. Turn on the heat and cook the mixture on very low heat until the cashew paste starts leaving the sides. (Takes 1-2 minutes)

5. Now turn off the heat and set the mixture on the greased tray. Grease your palm and spread it evenly. You can also use rolling pin to roll the cashew mixture. Roll it to ¼" thick. Let the mixture cool down, takes about 10-15 minutes.

6. Now cut the katli/ burfi into required shape. You can make big or small pieces as desired...
