🌸 Kaju ki Mithai for Raksha Bandhan 🌸

(Cashew Sweet / Kaju Katli or Peda Style)

📝 Ingredients:
• 2 cups kaju (cashews) – soaked in hot water for 2 hours (or boiled for 20 minutes)
• 1½ cups sugar
• ¼ tsp cardamom powder (elaichi)
• Little water (only to grind)
• Ghee for greasing (optional)

👩‍🍳 Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Cashew Paste
1. Drain the soaked kaju and let them come to room temperature.
2. In a mixer grinder, blend the kaju into a smooth paste, using very little water.
Tiny kaju bits are okay — they give texture to the mithai.

Step 2: Cook the Mixture
1. In a non-stick pan, add:
• The kaju paste
• 1½ cups sugar
2. Cook on low to medium heat, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
3. As the sugar melts and blends, the mixture will start thickening.
4. Keep stirring until the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan and forms a dough-like mass.
(It should no longer be sticky and should hold shape.)
5. Switch off the flame and let the mixture cool down to room temperature.

🍬 Shaping the Mithai

Option 1: Diamond-Shaped Kaju Katli
1. Once the mixture is cool but still soft, knead it gently using greased hands.
2. Place it between two butter/parchment papers and roll it out (about ¼ inch thick).
3. Remove the top paper and cut into diamonds using a sharp knife.

Option 2: Round Pedas
1. Take small portions and roll into smooth balls using your palms.
2. Gently flatten into disc shapes.

🌹 Garnishing Ideas
• Dried rose petals – press one onto each peda or katli for a festive touch
• Edible silver leaf (vark) – apply before cutting for a traditional look
• Saffron strands – soak in warm milk and place a strand on top
• Slivered pistachios or almonds – press into the center

📦 Storage Tips
• Store mithai in an airtight container.
• Keeps fresh at room temperature for 4–5 days.
• For longer storage, refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
• Bring to room temperature before serving.
