Kaju Katli | Cashew burfi | Cashew katli | mudhiri burfi is a delicious sweet prepared with ground cashew. Rich and tasty cashew burfi is an easy Indian sweet recipe that can easily be prepared in a pressure cooker. The traditional method is time-consuming but this pressure cooker is quick. Within 5 minutes Mundhiri Cake is ready. Great sweet for special occasions, Diwali, parties/get-togethers, etc. Happy Ugadi to all my lovely readers. I wanted to post a sweet recipe in my last post, but weekend met friends and as usual, I got lazy to draft s new post, so I picked a post from my draft. Kaju katli is my favorite sweet, well more than me Jagadish loves it. After our marriage whenever we visit out to meet friends he always buys cashew burfi. I always wanted to try it in home, but after hearing the key for the perfect sweet is string consistency, I took a step back.
Last year when my mother-in-law visited us, she got a 2-liter cooker. During 2016 Diwali I was thinking about what sweets to prepare. My friend Kavitha and I decided to try some sweets together. She invited me to her house, but somehow I couldn’t go. She came home with a kitchen food scale and cashew packet; asked me if I have a measuring cup and a proper 2-liter cooker. It was like magic seeing her do the Sweet. I was speechless tasting the cashew burfi. Within a few minutes, Munthiri Paruppu cake was prepared effortlessly. She kept the entire batch of Kaju katli for us. Should I mention Jagadish and I finished all the sweets that evening😂 I called her, asked for recipe, and made two more batches for distributing to friends and to take for the Diwali potluck.
