KAJU-BADAM BURFI

One of the yummy sweets using cashew nuts and almonds. I make cashew burfi ie…kaju katli (yet to share the recipe in my blog) and almond burfi ie…badam katli (yet to share the recipe in my blog), but this time I tried it with using both the nuts together and sprinkled a good amount of chopped pistachio as well, using very less amount of sugar. When you use more amount of sugar, the burfi turns out little hard, but as I have used less amount of sugar it is soft and chewy (like halwa). It turns out too yummy. Below I have provided the links for other recipes in the pic ie…. nuchhinunde , Kesari bath , benne muruku.

Ingredients :

Cashew nuts – 1/2 cup
Almonds – 1/2 cups
