Kaju Katli from Mumbai, India

Via Flickr:
One of the more expensive and widely gifted items from India is this Kaju Katli made from cashews and milk. It was gifted to me by my father-in-law, who just returned from his 10-day trip to Mumbai. This Katli was made by Central Sweets (307, Bellasis Road, opp. Bombay Central RLY. Station, Mumbai - 400 008).

Recipe Ingredients

1 Kg cashew nut pieces
800gm sugar
200gm mawa (grated)
18-20 Cardamom (powered)
20-25 threads of Saffron/Kesar (soaked in milk or at least an hour)
4 cups of water

Kaju (cashew nuts in English) doesn't grow here in Pakistan. Therefore, they are mostly imported from India, either directly or via Dubai. Along with Kaju Katli my father-in-law also brought these from Mumbai, India. The packing says that it's from Vadilal Champaklal & Co., Mirchi Galli, Jumma Masjid, Mumbai.
