Kaju Katli: A Sweet Made of Cashewnut Paste & Sugar Syrup

One of the most common and popular sweets made and distributed during the festival of Diwali is the Kaju Katli or the Kaju burfi (cashew burfi). When I learnt the recipe, I was surprised that the shops charged exorbitantly for a sweet that was so simple to make. No more Kaju Katli purchases I said to myself and made a good batch of it for Diwali. It turned just as good as the ready made ones and was liked by all.

Ingredients:

  • 100 gm Cashew nuts
  • 100 gm Sugar
  • 200 gm water
  • Silver Foil for decorating

Method:

  • Soak the cashew nuts in water for about 1 hour
  • Make a paste of the cashew in the grinder
  • In a pan, make sugar syrup of a single thread consistency
  • Add the cashew paste to it and stir continuously
  • Allow it to cool and transfer the mixture to a greased plate
  • Place the silver foil over it and cut into diamond shaped pieces.

Preparation time: 30 minutes
