Kaju Katli | Kaju Burfi

Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category: Sweet
Preparation Time:20mins | Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

Cashew-1 cup(at room temperature)

---

Sugar-1/2 cup

---

Rose petal/Rose water/Saffron -few (op)

---

Ghee/Cocunut oil for greasing

---

Water- 7 tbsp

---

Method:

1. Make sure the cashew is at room temperature.Grind the cashew into a fine powder(stop in between to avoid oily cashew) (use big jar instead of small).
2. Now keep ready with the greased plate or a pan with ghee .
3. In a thick wide pan (non stick preferable)add the sugar and water.

4. Once the sugar dissolved and started bubbles, add cashew powder and mix well to remove lumps and cook in a low flame.

5. Once the cashew starts thickening keep mixing till it come together non sticky along with ladle (ref pic).Now switch off the flame and transfer it to a greased pan or plate.

6. Now add little ghee and chopped rose petals and mix well with ladle,once u able to handle the temperature start kneading it else the burfi will start crumbling.

7. Once you knead it well like a dough,using a butter/parchment paper on top and roll it into thin sheet using rolling pin.
8. Once it cool down completely, cut it into diamond shape.

Notes:

• Cashew should be at room temperature and while grinding don't make it oily
• Don’t wait for the sugar syrup to get single string sugar syrup .Bcoz if you missed the proper consistency then burfi will get crumbled.
• So it’s better to add cashew powder before the sugar syrup get single string consistency.
• If the mixture is so hot and u can’t handle the heat, try to knead with 2 ladles at least else it will get grainy lumps.
• Roll into desired thickness and size.
• If using the rose water add with sugar.
• If using saffron, roast in a pan and powder it and use while kneading..
