A friend of mine have me tried these kaju katli (cashew fudge) since I am always on the look out for any cashew recipes. These kaju katli are really easy to make. I thought to make these since it looks really festive with the silver foil sheets.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup of plain roasted cashews
3/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of water
pinch of cardamom
silver foils sheets (optional)
- Grind cashews in coffee grinder or food processor.
- To make sugar syrup, combine sugar and water in a pan and put to boil. Once boiled, put crushed cardamom (the black seeds only-see picture above) and put to medium to low heat. It takes about 10 minutes until the liquid thickens and a little bit stringy.
- Pour sugar to cashews and mix well. If it is too liquid, put on a low heat. Stir until consistency is thick and less liquid.
- Pour the mixture to a greased plate and leave until it hardened about 1 hour.
- Once mixture is hardened, put silver foil sheets carefully on top of the kaju katli mixture. These sheets are so thin that they tend to fly away. You can buy these silver foil in Indian grocery store. If you live in NYC, you can buy it at Kalutsyan on Lexington Avenue.
- Cut diagonally the fudge into diamond shapes.
