While food is often associated with six basic tastes to satisfy the taste buds completely, there is always a sentiment to share sweets on special occasions.I'm not an exception too. Starting off with a simple sweet for this year.
2014 has been a memorable one, started my blog, met so many enthusiastic friends and above all it was an year of learning for me. I hope the same continues and I push myself to reach my goals.
Now , coming to the recipe,This is a soft fudge very popular in India and just melts in your mouth. This is an easy peasy dessert that can be made in a jiffy with very minimal effort.The texture can be smooth or a bit grainy , you can make your choice. But I prefer mine little grainy so that I feel the texture in every bite of it.
Ingredients
Cashew Nuts ( coarsely ground ) .......................... 1 cup
Sugar ................................................................. 1/2 cup
Water................................................................... 3 tbsp
Rose water .......................................................... 1/2 tsp (optional)
Method
- Take the whole cashews and pulse few times to desired consistency ( try not to release the oil from it)
- Mix sugar and water in a wide pan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Now add the ground cashews and stir well in medium low heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until the cashews form a mass(dough).
- Transfer the dough to a greased plate and gently knead to make smooth dough.
- Now line your rolling board with parchment paper / butter paper and transfer the dough gently .
- Place another parchment paper on the top and roll with a rolling pin gently.
- Cut them into desired shape.
