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
