800 gm kaju/cashew
800 gm sugar
400 ml water
We have to make a thick sugar suryp: water and sugar: Boil water and sugar to 3 tar consistency :sherbat consistency.
Grind cashew to bread crumbs texture..not too fine else it will turn pasty.
Turn off gas and add cashew powder to sugar syrup. Mix it.
Put the mixture on flame and cook till mixture looks glossy. Cook and stir with lot of care..do not over cook. turn off gas immediately. Divide into 3 parts. Flavour them seperately: plain, strawberry and saffron.
Mix appropriate flavour..mix well..
Strawberry Flavour:
20 medium strawberries coarsely chopped. Cook with sugar and water. Puree and strain it. Add the puree to 1 part and mix well. It should turn a nice pink colour. As the dough sits, it will get a bit tougher.
Saffron Flavour:
Mix roasted pinch of saffron in little warm sugar water. Add it to another part and mix well and gives it a nice saffron colour.
Leave the third part plain
With a wet hand knead 3 doughs.
Roll out each one part and layer 3 parts in any order with pista chopped in between. Now roll up all three into a single roll and add chandi work and cut slices to get triple coloured kaju katri.
