Kaju Katli

This is my first attempt of making this delicious kaju katli.  It was 100% perfect & just tasted like store bought sweet.  Even cardamom powder instead of saffron for unique flavour.   Very simple & quick indian sweet yet delicious.

Ingredients :

1. Cashewnuts - 1 cup
2. Sugar - 3/4 cups
3. A pinch of saffron (optional)
4. Water - 1/4 cup
5. Ghee - 1 tsp
6. Silver leaves (optional) - for decorating

Direction to cook :

1.   Grind the cashewnuts to powder form.

2.   In a heavy bottomed pan, combine the sugar & water.  Allow it to boil till you get one-string consistency.  Add saffron at this time (optional).

3.   At this point, add the cashew powder, ghee & keep stirring until you get the soft dough.  

4.   Grease the plate & spread the dough.  Spread the dough using rolling pin to the desired thickness.

5.   Finally, spread the silver leaves & cut them in the desired shape. 

Serve.
