KAJU- WALNUT BARFI
Recipe:
Half gallon of whole milk
1陆 cups of sugar (or 2 cups, how sweet, your choice)
1 cup cashews
1 cup walnuts
Preparation:
Milk and Sugar: Bring milk to a boil in a big wide pot. Add sugar and stir. Cook the mixture until is gets thick and is reduced to about one fourths of the original quantity. It takes atleast 45 minutes to one hour.:)
Cashews and Walnuts: Meanwhile, lightly roast cashews and walnuts separately in an iron skillet. Let them cool down to room temperature. Separate 10 pieces from each and chop them into small pieces. With the remaining ones - make a fine powder of them in a food processor/mixer
Kova into Laddu: Add this fine powder to the thickened milk-sugar kova and cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is very thick. Sprinkle in chopped chunks of cashews and walnuts, that was kept aside, cook for another 10 minutes or until the mixture is almost crumbly and comes away easily from the sides of pan.
Take a spoonful of mixture and press it with your hands into a ball. If it holds shape, then mixture is ready for cooling. Turn off the heat. Spoon the mixture into a greased square or round pan. Level it with a spatula and let it cool for at least 4 to 5 hours. Cut into squares for burfis or take a spoonful of mixture, shape it with your hands into a round ball for laddus. Store them in jar, will stay fresh for 4 to 7 days.
(Makes about 15 to 20 medium sized laddus.)
One medium sized cashew-walnut laddu, my entry to 鈥楽ugar-Low Friday鈥?event hosted by lovely Sam of Beck %26amp; Posh.
By the time my friends left, I had only four laddus remaining out of 20. Two for me and two for Vijay, enough for us. This is how I do my 鈥楽ugar - Low鈥? by portion control. In my view, this is also one of the ways to lower the sugar consumption.Can anyone tell me how to use walnut in our Indian food recipes?
